How to read a Caribbean Airlines(BW) air waybill number

106-41984364 example only — not a real shipment

Air waybill numbers are 11 digits, usually printed like 106-41984364. The first three digits are the IATA airline prefix — 106 is Caribbean Airlines(BW)’s — and the remaining eight are the serial, where the last digit is a check digit (the first seven digits modulo 7).

One AWB covers the whole consignment (there is no per-piece number), and unlike container numbers, AWB serials are recycled by airlines after roughly a year — so a very old number can show someone else’s shipment.

If your Caribbean Airlines(BW) tracking isn’t working

1. 1 Check the number format first

   An air waybill is 11 digits — a 3-digit airline prefix and an 8-digit serial, e.g. 106-41984364. Enter it with or without the dash, but don’t drop leading zeros from the serial.

2. 2 Make sure the number was issued by this carrier

   If your serial doesn’t start with 106, the AWB was issued by a different airline or a freight forwarder (a “house” AWB). Track house AWBs with the forwarder; the airline only sees its own “master” AWB.

3. 3 Too early or too late

   Timing matters: a number that was only just issued may not show results yet, and carriers remove old shipments from public tracking a few weeks after delivery. If the shipment is very new or long delivered, an empty result doesn’t mean the number is wrong.

4. 4 Still nothing?

   Contact whoever sold you the freight service (your forwarder, broker, or Caribbean Airlines(BW) directly) with the air waybill number and the booking reference — they can see internal status that public tracking doesn’t show.
