Home Tag baggage label
Print the tag for your baggage at home and attach it to your case. This saves you valuable time at the airport and allows you to take your baggage directly to the Bag Drop counter.
Your benefits
Prepare at home
Print your tag conveniently at home. You can get the appropriate holder at the Austrian check-in counters. If you save it, you can re-use it on your next flight.
Save time
Skip the queues at baggage check-in and take your case directly to the Baggage Drop-Off counter. Please do not hesitate to contact our employees if you have any questions.
Bypass peak times
There is increased activity at the airport during holiday periods. With the HomeTag you save valuable time that you would otherwise have to spend at baggage check-in.
Please note
Currently, the HomeTag is only offered on flights from the USA and Switzerland and to Zurich and Miami. This service is due to be extended to further routes.
If the option is available for your trip, the HomeTag option appears automatically during online check-in.
If your starting airport is in the European Union (EU), the applicable EU regulations require that your HomeTag must be printed in colour. Please understand that we are unfortunately not allowed to accept baggage in the EU with a HomeTag that is not printed in colour.
