That's why I keep mine on my rollerboard.

But I guess the whole point of a luggage tag (apart from showing off) is to indicate your eligibility for using priority boarding/check-in, etc without digging out your card.

I highly doubt it was torn away, due to the metal ring it's attached to. There was no damage on the bag, so he seemed pretty sure the handlee had stolen it (this was in Italy, if that makes any difference)
At some points the tag has come in handy for passing the bouncer at the biz check-in. I simply pointed at my trolley bag, and I was let through.

Is a life without baggage tags even possible?
It took 6 weeks for A3 to get my welcome package to me. It had the tag, and I found this thread in my attempt to figure out how the metal strap opened. I hadn't seen this type before.
One of the wires screws into the inside of the barrel BTW.

Why? Just wait to see how your life will be when your tag gets "removed" (happened to me): nothing changes and your forget about it within 17 seconds...
Well, I remember them since I was a kid, in the pre-plastic era!
Only possible way, isn't it?

Aegean gold luggage tags
Lost my 2nd A3 Gold tag last week. Had two suitcases checked in on LHR FRA DRS and again lost the tag, though my LH FTL one the other suitcase was fine. Coincidence? Can someone actually do something with the tag? Don't think they just fall off...

And you call yourself a Frequent Traveller? You should know, for the future, that Greek tags are soooo much hotter than German ones!
