Why I’ll be displaying my BA Bronze Luggage Tags
Having read the snobbery on here towards BA Bronze holders, I’ve decided to be happy with my “low status”. After all, BA think I’m worth sending tags to use. Sure you don’t get a massive deal of extras with Bronze, but still something, and BA do recognize that your loyalty is worth something. I’m going to use my Bronze Tags on my carry on and hold luggage. Because not everyone has their work pay for their flights, and as a 19 year old student, being BA bronze in my own right makes me happy. Just a light post to oppose some of the snobbery on here, and to remind people to be happy with their own lot. :P |
You’re right. Not everybody has work pay for their status. There are a fair few on here who are bronze, silver, gold, GGL and even CCR who pay for all their own travel. Should these people be given higher recognition by BA? :) |
Good for you, young Sir! Wear them with pride, and as a demonstration of your loyalty! ^
BTW, don’t take the snobbery too seriously. Just make sure you don’t use the Group 1 queue unless your in the right cabin! :D :D Happy travels. ;) |
You have the advantage over some of us who have never had Bronze tags. IIRC they are a relatively recent invention - well this century anyway ;)
|
The targeted bronzes - and I'm probably more guilty of poking fun in this direction than most - are a specific type of self-important business traveller who you'll sometimes find jostling with you at the gate. There are plenty of perfectly charming bronzes, and to earn it off your own bat as a 19 year old is a great achievement, so hats off to you.
|
Of course you should use them. ^
Being a Blue I just make do with a paper luggage tag....the type Paddington Bear uses. |
I’ll be surprised if they last more than one journey. Mine never do irrespective of colour or airline.

It's their "status-induced" behaviour that tends to get bashed, not their Bronzeness. :D Just don't imitate those DYKWIA Bronzes and you'll be fine! |

Well done for getting Bronze

I’ll be VERY impressed if a 19 year-old gets that cultural reference! :D |

Fair call! At my advanced age (no, not ‘old’) I’m increasingly aware of how much my lifetime has become a closed book to so many. Anyone here remember ‘skiffle’? Lonnie Donegan? :)
