Boarding passes with encoded data and systems for issuing and processing them

A luggage collection installation, located at a place of arrival where passengers disembark from an aircraft or other means of transportation with passenger coupon parts ( 31 ) of boarding passes, is arranged to facilitate luggage delivery. The passenger coupon parts ( 63 ) contain encoded luggage identification corresponding to identification data on transported luggage. The installation comprises at least one reader/writer ( 5 ) for the passenger coupon parts ( 63 ) and means ( 4 ) for reading luggage identification data carried by luggage to be collected on a conveyor ( 2 ), and which corresponds to encoded luggage identification data stored in the passenger coupon part ( 63 ) of the boarding passes. A plurality of luggage outlets ( 3 ) are each associated with a reader/writer with a slot ( 5 ) for the passenger coupon parts, and arranged for removing luggage or for allowing removal of luggage from the luggage collection installation when the luggage identification data associated with the luggage corresponds to that on the passenger coupon part ( 63 ) of a boarding pass inserted in the reader/writer slot ( 5 ).
