I've bumped in to HerpaYvr and jaysona at airports, but I already knew them from Dos.
Whenever I've flown with other FTers, it was pre-arranged.
To DaveObee's point, I'm not sure how we can recognise each other, other than by asking. I certainly don't have any FT luggage tags.

Well I tried to met a fellow FTer at YYZ once but AC flew them in so late we missed each other 
I've wondered about a few people but never directly asked.
Can AC provide a tag update for FT? Like 1MM on one side and FT on the other

That or (for picture reasons mainly) they write a blog.

Quite often when I get into casual conversation with others on board, in a lounge, etc. I often get asked if I'm on FT. I say yes. Then they ask if I'm yyznomad. This has happened a few times in the last year or two. Most of these FTers are lurkers for the most part.
This is a hello to th FT lurker I met at ICN when our FIN 802 went mechanical and we were several hours delayed out of ICN... and a hello to the couple I met YVR YYZ (they were on their way to ZRH) sometime in late 2015.

Some off the top of my head in no particular order and not a complete list (unplanned and met along the way):
parnel
taupo
acysb87
Empress and Andrew Yiu
Nordsfan
YEG_SE4Life
jaysona
Going nowhere fast
Some listed above I have bumped into more than once in very random fashion somewhere on this planet.

At one point ST said 68 were posted but I expect more than that since there was an earlier and perhaps a subsequent run. I've had no reaction in the year I've been using them. No one notices but me. I like them. Echo, the thanks to ST.
