CRSllä

CRSllä is a Finnish term that refers to the use of a specific type of luggage tag, often made of plastic or reinforced cardboard, that is designed to be attached to checked baggage. These tags are typically provided by airlines or travel agencies and are used to identify the passenger and their destination. The term "CRSllä" is a colloquialism derived from the Finnish word "CRS," which can stand for various travel-related systems, including Computer Reservation Systems, but in this context, it specifically denotes the luggage tag system.

These tags are essential for the efficient handling of checked luggage in the aviation industry. They contain coded information that is scanned at various points in the baggage handling process, from check-in to sorting and loading onto the aircraft. The information on the tag usually includes a unique barcode, the passenger's name, flight number, and destination airport. This allows baggage handlers and airport systems to track the luggage and ensure it reaches the correct aircraft and then the correct carousel at the destination.

While the physical appearance of CRSllä tags can vary between airlines and over time, their fundamental purpose remains the same: to facilitate the identification and tracking of checked baggage. Travelers are usually instructed to attach these tags securely to their luggage before checking it in. The use of these tags is a standard procedure in air travel worldwide, though the specific term "CRSllä" is unique to Finnish usage.
