Baggage desk / evidence before assumptions

One bag. Seven different questions.

Item, entitlement, pieces, weight, dimensions, journey, and consequence can all change independently. Start with the field your itinerary has not proved.

The complete record

Keep seven fields on seven lines.

A confident answer in one row does not fill the others. Use the relevant guide when a line is missing or the itinerary changes.

  1. 01ItemWhich named bag category?
  2. 02EntitlementIncluded for which traveler and fare?
  3. 03PiecesHow many in this category?
  4. 04WeightPer piece or another basis?
  5. 05DimensionsWhich axes, unit, and measurement method?
  6. 06JourneyWhich direction, segment, and operator?
  7. 07ConsequenceWhat happens beyond the condition?

Before the airport

Recheck after the bag or itinerary changes.

Repacking can change the exterior envelope and weight. A ticket reissue, operating-carrier change, reroute, upgrade, or new airport instruction can change which evidence deserves review.

Do not enter names, booking references, ticket numbers, identity documents, payment details, exact addresses, or other sensitive travel information into a worksheet.

These pages do not maintain live airline allowances, prohibited-item rules, airport instructions, capacity, or acceptance outcomes.

Evidence discipline

One answer cannot fill every field.

IATA says allowances and conditions remain airline-specific. The UK CAA also describes variation by destination, airline, and travel class. The seven-field record is Iliamna's inspection framework, not a rule or acceptance result.
