The disclosure includes a method and system for checking in baggage of a passenger. The method includes receiving a passenger name record (PNR) number of a confirmed itinerary for a flight on an airline carrier. The passenger's luggage items can be picked up from the passenger's location and transported to another location such as a processing or storage location for the luggage item. A simulated baggage source message (SBSM) compatible with International Air Transport Association B-Type messages can be generated using information from itinerary so that the passenger's luggage items can be checked in outside or inside of a regulated check-in window. The PNR number can be a temporary unique identifier for use in the SBSM.
