"Bag BHS Transport Time" is the duration the bag has spent being transported in the baggage handling system (BHS).
Calculation: BagBhsTransportTime = BagTotalTimeInBhs - (BagTotalTimeInMcs + BagTotalTimeInEbs + BagTimeAtManSecScreen + BagBhsDeliveryAttemptsTime)

The "Bag BHS Time Exceeded Group" is a grouping, based on business rules, of bags that have spent too much time in the BHS. Grouping is business/airport specific.

The "Bag BHS Time Exceeded By" is the duration the bag has spent in the baggage handling system exceeding any service level agreement (SLA) giving the maximum allowed time (BagBhsSlaTime). The maximum allowed time will vary from BHS to BHS, and might also vary based on business rules.

The "Bag BHS SLA Time" is the duration a given BHS has, according to any SLA, to process the bag. Usually this is from the passenger checks in the bag to when the bag is delivered in a baggage bin and available to the handler. The SLA time will vary from BHS to BHS, and might also vary based on business rules. Used to calculate BagBhsTimeExceededBy.

The "Bag Unloaded From Aircraft Time" is the DateTimeUTC when the bag was unloaded from the aircraft. This corresponds to the BagEventCode "BagUnloaded". Always UTC.

The "Bag To Passenger Time Estimate" is the DateTimeUTC when the bag is estimated to be made directly available to the passenger. This is an estimate of when the BagEventCode "BagToPassenger" will occur. This is an estimate of the timestamp BTPAT. Always UTC.

The "Bag To Passenger Time" is the DateTimeUTC when the bag is made directly available to the passenger. This corresponds to the BagEventCode "BagToPassenger". Always UTC.

An estimate of this timestamp is defined by BTPATE.

The "Bag To Transfer Time" is the DateTimeUTC when the bag is delivered to transfer processing. This corresponds to the BagEventCode "BagToTransfer". Always UTC.

The "Bag To Manual Security screening Time" is the DateTimeUTC when the (first) manual security scan of the bag started. This corresponds to the (first) BagEventCode "BagToSecScreen" for a manual security screening. Multiple security screenings of a bag is possible, but will not change BTMST. Always UTC.

The "Bag To Manual Coding station Time" is the DateTimeUTC when the bag first enters a manual coding station (MCS). This corresponds to the BagEventCode "BagToMCS". Multiple visits to MCS by a bag is possible, but will not change BTMCT. Always UTC.

The "Bag To L5 security screening Time" is the DateTimeUTC when the Level 5 security scan of the bag started. This corresponds to the BagEventCode "BagToSecScreen", with some additional information (typically BagEventLocation) identifying it as a Level 5 security screening. Always UTC.

The "Bag To L4 security screening Time" is the DateTimeUTC when the Level 4 security scan of the bag started. This corresponds to the BagEventCode "BagToSecScreen", with some additional information (typically BagEventLocation) identifying it as a Level 4 security screening. Always UTC.

The "Bag To L3 security screening Time" is the DateTimeUTC when the Level 3 security scan of the bag started. This corresponds to the BagEventCode "BagToSecScreen", with some additional information (typically BagEventLocation) identifying it as a Level 3 security screening. Always UTC.

The "Bag To L2 security screening Time" is the DateTimeUTC when the Level 2 security scan of the bag started. This corresponds to the BagEventCode "BagToSecScreen", with some additional information (typically BagEventLocation) identifying it as a Level 2 security screening. Always UTC.

The "Bag To L1 security screening Time" is the DateTimeUTC when the Level 1 security scan of the bag started. This corresponds to the BagEventCode "BagToSecScreen", with some additional information (typically BagEventLocation) identifying it as a Level 1 security screening. Always UTC.

The "Bag Tag Generated Time" is the DateTimeUTC when the bag tag was generated (printed). This will typically result in the generation of a bag source message (BSM). BTGRT corresponds to the BagEventCode "BagTagGenerated". Always UTC.

The "Bag To First Security screening Time" is the DateTimeUTC when the first security screening of the bag started. This corresponds to the first BagEventCode "BagToSecScreen". Multiple security screenings of a bag is possible, but will not change BTFST. Always UTC.

The "Bag To Early Bag storage Time" is the DateTimeUTC when the bag first enters an early bag store (EBS). This corresponds to the first BagEventCode "BagToEBS". Multiple visits to EBS by a bag is unlikely, and will not change BTEBT. Always UTC.

The "Bag To BHS BinTime" is the DateTimeUTC when the baggage handling system actually delivered the bag for further handling. This will typically be, for baggage handling systems with sorting, when the bag is placed in a bin. This corresponds to the BagEventCode "BagToBhsBin". Always UTC.

An estimate of this timestamp is defined by BEBFT.

The "Bag To Automatic Security screening Time" is the DateTimeUTC when the (first) automatic security screening of the bag started. This corresponds to the (first) BagEventCode "BagToSecScreen" for an automatic security screening. Multiple security screenings of a bag is possible, but will not change BTAST. Always UTC.

The time the bag was last rejected. This will typically be by an SBD (self service baggage drop). Often the same as BFRET. Always UTC.

The "Bag Loaded Time" is the DateTimeUTC for the last BagLoaded event. The timestamp can indicate when the bag was loaded into a container, or when it was loaded onto an aircraft. This corresponds to the last BagEventCode "BagLoaded". Always UTC.

Code/string defining which baggage segregation that are associated with the relevant Bin. Codes are system/handler specific.

A baggage bin. Typically where a baggage handling system places the bags that are sorted.

The time the bag was first rejected. This will typically be by an SBD (self service baggage drop). Common reasons are too heavy and too big. Always UTC.

The "Bag From Manual Security screening Time" is the DateTimeUTC when the (last) manual security screening of the bag finished. This corresponds to the (last) BagEventCode "BagFromSecScreen" for a manual security screening. Multiple manual security screenings of a bag is possible, all should update BFMST. Always UTC.
