Isn't that a transfer tag??

Baggage transfer tag. It's very rare to see them. Notice how it's designed to be easily slipped off the "real" bag tag. It should have been removed as part of the transfer.

Thank you for quick replies.

What is special thing about transfer bag tag?

It might not a just transfer to another flight, CUZ they don't need that.

Notice how it's bright orange? It allows the baggage handlers to easily spot those bags coming off a flight that have to be transferred to another flight. I believe they're only used on international flights, but I'm not sure. They should always be removed by baggage handlers at the transfer station, so as not to confuse the end station.
