Edit … here you go, from https://www.alaskaair.com/content/tr...lf-tag-express

“Guests will no longer be able to print bag tags at homeEffective September 12, 2022 guests will no longer be able to print their bag tags at home. Guests can still use self-tag kiosks at eligible airports or go to an Alaska Air ticket counter to tag luggage.”
Seems like a step backwards. Now, instead of just dropping off your bag, you have to go to a kiosk to print out the old style self sticking strips, then drop them off. And where does one go to get the OW Priority tag (not that they do much good)?

I will just go to the F counter and waste the agents' time with this additional step.

I noticed on the bag tag page this: "*Self-tag kiosks are not available at Adak, Colorado Springs, Dutch Harbor, Raleigh-Durham, Steamboat Springs, and Yakutat.". Is AS going back to COS? I would take that over DEN any day.
