When to use it

Present your baggage claim tag proactively when you approach the lost luggage desk — it dramatically speeds up the search process.

What it means

The baggage 'scontrino' (or 'talloncino del bagaglio') is the sticky tag the airline attaches to your boarding pass when you check in a bag. It has a unique barcode used to track the bag's location in the system.

Variations

Ecco il talloncino del bagaglio.

Here is the baggage tag.

'Talloncino' is the more technical term for the baggage claim tag.

Ho perso lo scontrino del bagaglio.

I've lost the baggage receipt.

If you no longer have the tag — still file the report, just takes longer.

Cultural Note

Airlines use a global baggage tracking system called 'WorldTracer'. The barcode on your baggage tag is the primary search key. Keeping your boarding pass with the claim tag intact until you have confirmed your bag is a key travel habit.
