Abstract
Disclosed embodiments provide techniques for managing luggage within a premises such as an airport. A group identifier is established that includes multiple travelers. Each traveler in the group has one or more pieces of luggage that are being checked at a destination airport for a flight. When the travelers arrive, the luggage is reclaimed at the baggage claim area of the arrival airport. The group identifier is associated with each piece of luggage belonging to the group. Thus, any member of the group can properly remove luggage belonging to the group from the baggage area, thereby simplifying the airport exit procedure.
