Suggestions - Flyertalk Store question

Hi,

Thanks for reopening the Flyertalk Store.

Question... I cannot find the Flyertalk Luggage Tags. Have they been discountinued or did I miss them? I found them to be the only thing I used from the store...

Any chance of a different Luggage tag?

Hi Wharvey,

The store does not currently have the FT luggage tags -- those are being distributed through request to Carol.

As to other types of luggage tags, we have looked at trying to procure a hard plastic logo tag from another vendor (unfortunately not available at Cafepress yet), but we've heard conflicting sentiments on that; some say the yellow laminated FT tags are the only ones they're interested in, and others say they'd like to see something more durable and/or with the ability to put an address into it. What do you think?

Paul,

I much prefer something more durable... that allows for a business card. In fact, had made that request a few times over the years in the ORP forum.

Any reason both options could not be available? In all honesty, I think you would have more interest in those items than FT buttons... :)

I like both options... the yellow laminated ones are great for getting noticed by other FTers... but the business card one is more practical.

I'd look to supplying both options also - the yellow ones are iconic and make mutual identification easy (let's face it, no self-respecting FTer put bags in the hold, now, do they? ;))

But a tag that has your contact details has its merits also - whether filled in, or by leaving a slot for a business card.

you could use a sharpie to write your contact info on the FT Thong, and then strap that to your luggage :)

...with the added security benefit that it would be *very* unlikely someone else would ever pick up your bag.

Seems like a very sensible suggestion. ^ It's currently an odd omission IMHO, particularly since the yellow tags have been popular for years. Luggage tags are a natural for any website devoted to travel, and more so for FT, with all of the DOs and tag-spotting that are part of its culture.

The iconic yellow tags are available for free with a note to me.

Thanks. :) A PM about the iconic yellow tags is on its way.

Do you take well-traveled trade-ins?

Keep them as a memory of great trips and get fresh from me.

I'd like a more durable option as well.
