Although I don’t display on my *actual* day to day travel luggage, I have attached a variety of BAEC cards of all colours (mine and various family members) to my *general* luggage, on the basis that it is a useful additional identifier.

However I realised this week, taking one of the offspring on a short Italian break, that I was trundling through the airport with a Bronze tag “proudly” on display. Hopefully those on the plane could tell I was BAEC G by the fact the two of us had 1A & 1C, but I did feel the urge to remind people…fortunately resisted. I might otherwise end up on the NSCS - Non sai chi sono? - thread…
