BAEC luggage tags: practical utility or personal statement?
A recurring theme on FT is the hate for luggage tags, and what some can read into using them. I've always regarded them as a means of ID'ing your luggage, but for many here they seem to be statements of passive entitlement.

silver doesn’t really change anything when flying club so not so much of an issue but I no longer use a tag because BA never sent me Silver ones. |
Here we go again with the luggage tag obsession. :rolleyes:
I think this topic says more about those who continuously raise the issue than those who actually use the tags. Those who adorn their luggage with tags are not hurting anyone. |

To be honest I stuck my gold tag on because I was sick of crew/staff assuming I was in the wrong place, made passing into first wing a breeze too.

I am Burgundy with QR, and they haven’t sent me any tags to add to my collection, Should I complain? :D

In Aus and NZ we already lose our bag tags.
And any priority tags seem to work in reverse - business priority means last. First priority means dead last. |

Its not a "hate for luggage tags" as they do serve a purpose when used appropriately. IMO its pretty simple: 1 tag is for ID and sensible, >1 tag is for ego/you care too much about how special you think you are for flying a lot.
Apologies for OT again, but in fairness this thread has been OT for a while. |

Rather reenforces my point. Why would you care if someone has 2 or more tags on their bag
Maybe the picture was posted due to ‘tag envy’? 😉 Doc Copper |

Let's not turn the DYKWIA thread into another debate about bag tags. We'll never bridge the gap between those who apparently can't identify their own bags unless they're adorned with shiny status symbols and those who think that flaunting your frequent-flyer credentials everywhere you go makes you look like a bit of a tit.
I, of course, have no opinion on this and am completely neutral. |

The heart of the issue is that people will keep buying BLACK luggage, which looks like 90% of the stuff on the belt! ;)

The BA replacement was a boring silver Antler. At least our Gold Tags help us spot them on the belt ... and the lime green labels and bag-straps! ;) |
