Aspects of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and system for ticket validation. The method includes one or more processors receiving ticket identification information corresponding to a transportation ticket and vehicle identification information corresponding to a transportation vehicle, wherein the transportation vehicle is associated with a transportation route. The method further includes retrieving a first data entry corresponding to the received ticket identification information. The method further includes retrieving a second data entry corresponding to the received vehicle identification information. The method further includes determining whether the transportation ticket is valid for travel along the transportation route associated with the transportation vehicle based on the retrieved first data entry and the retrieved second data entry. The method further includes generating an output signal that provides an indication of whether the transportation ticket is valid for travel along the transportation route associated with the transportation vehicle.

When attending an event at a venue, the attendee typically presents ticket information that is scanned by a venue scanner. The process associated with scanning can be dispensed with, which can improve attendee experiences, reduce costs associated with managing a venue, as well as other advantages. For example, instead of scanning a ticket at a point of ingress to the venue, a device of the user can self-scan the ticket, and then present indicia that indicates this process has occurred. The indicia can be presented to a guest services representative, who can verify that a valid ticket was redeemed by merely observing the indicia and without scanning.

Various methods, computer systems, and machine learning models for luggage tracking and recovery are disclosed. The methods and computer systems may include matching first travel information including a passenger name and an International Air Transport Association (IATA) license plate number for a luggage item of a passenger in a flight manifest with second travel information from a created B-Type message that includes a reference indicator representative of a non-routine routed luggage item. The methods and computer systems may include generating an anomalous luggage item manifest record for the non-routine routed luggage item associated with the flight manifest; retrieving third travel information of the non-routine routed luggage item generated by a baggage handling system prior to or after the created B-Type message; and locating the non-routine routed the luggage item. Thereafter, the luggage item may be routed to its intended destination.

Provided is a system and method for creating a luggage manifest using a b-type message and a passenger name record number, the method including: a) identifying, by at least one of at least one processor, a baggage source message (BSM) associated with an arrival of a luggage item of a passenger, wherein the BSM includes an airport code associated with an airport and travel data of a first mode of travel carrier of the luggage item; b) matching, by at least one of the at least one processor, a passenger name record (PNR) number of the passenger included in the BSM with a PNR number in a manifest for a second mode of travel different from the first mode of travel, wherein the second mode of travel is local to the airport code; c) based on a match being found in b), extracting, by at least one of the at least one processor, an International Air Transport Association (IATA) license plate number from the BSM; and d) creating, by at least one of the at least one processor, a luggage item manifest record for the luggage item, wherein the luggage item manifest record includes the IATA license plate number and the PNR number of the passenger, and wherein the luggage item manifest record is accessible by predetermined electronic acquiring devices configured to scan an originating hardcopy bag tag identifier (OH-BTI) associated with or printed on an originating hardcopy bag tag from the first mode of travel carrier that is attached to the luggage item.

Provided is a system and method for creating a luggage manifest. The method includes: obtaining, by at least one processor, image data representative of at least one image of printed passenger information associated with an airline travel carrier on an originating hardcopy bag tag or a printed instrument including at least a portion of the passenger information on the originating hardcopy bag tag to create a digital passenger information (DPI) data record linked to the airline travel carrier, wherein the originating hardcopy bag tag is issued for a checked-in luggage item of a passenger, and wherein the DPI data record includes an International Air Transport Association (IATA) license plate number, a passenger name record (PNR) number, an airline code, an airline name, a name of the passenger, or any combination thereof; accessing, by the at least one processor, passenger return flight information from a computer system associated with the airline travel carrier, based on the DPI data record; and, checking in, by the at least one processor, the luggage item, the passenger, or a combination thereof for a return flight with a designated return airline travel carrier associated with the accessed passenger return flight information.
