Yeah he initially thought we didn't have any bags. The agent at our point of departure had problems checking us in, so I don't think the bags got linked to the file properly. We were asked to show the physical tags when we stated we had checked luggage and our file didn't have anything attached. That was the only time I've had to show them when going TB at YVR.
