When travelling abroad, you may just scan your boarding pass and head to the gate - but the information on that white ticket can actually be the difference between if you'll get on the plane or not.
As people prep for their last holidays of the year before the festive season, it's typical to be checking things like your passport and your boarding pass - whether it's a paper copy or digital.
Booking number This code is made up of six digits, which is a mix of numbers and letters, and serves to let people check-in online and manage their booking - like an order confirmation number on an online purchase. This means that you have been chosen to go through extra security measures at the airport by the Transportation Security Administration and the Department of Homeland Security.
See Agent If you see the message 'see agent' on your boarding pass, this can mean a multitude of different things, according to Conde Nast Traveller. The publication said that this could mean you have not been assigned a seat on the flight yet, and you would need to speak to a member of staff to sort it out.
Rhys Jones, from frequent flyer website headforpoints.com, told Mailonline: "One of the most interesting of the marks on a boarding pass is the 'SEQ XXX' number. This denotes the order in which the passenger checks in for the flight. Many frequent flyers go out of their way to gain the coveted SEQ 001.
The code appears as two capital letters followed by four numbers, with the letter indicating the airline and the number is the specific flight the airline will be conducting.
