A Master Air Waybill (MAWB) is issued by the airline — in this case Bangkok Airways — directly to the freight forwarder. It begins with the airline's prefix: 829. A House Air Waybill (HAWB) is issued by the freight forwarder to the individual shipper and uses the forwarder's own numbering system.

What if my 829 AWB shows no tracking status? +
Tracking status for a 829 AWB may not appear immediately after booking. It becomes visible only after the cargo has been physically accepted at a Bangkok Airways cargo terminal and the AWB has been activated in their system. This typically takes 2–8 hours after acceptance. If your AWB still shows no status after 12 hours, contact Bangkok Airways cargo customer service or your freight forwarder directly.
