Does anyone use MPC luggage tags?
There is one luggage tag on my checkin luggage, in case it lost and can be identified.But, does anyone tag it on hand-carry? I have seen some people do so but never done it before.
Yesterday I saw some tags in my drawer. There were green, silver, gold and black ones. Eventually I picked up one green tagged on my hand-carry for the first time. Why? I think green is the true color of CX. (look their logo!) Moreover, it reminds me the good old day of being a green member. At that time, I was a young student, flying 747-400 Y class to Europe. There were the newest movies onboard, great catering (well… ), and lots of inflight snacks! I totally enjoyed the 13 hours flight!
Nowadays, I do fly premium class more often but they don’t excite me anymore. After takeoff, I change to pajamas, sleeping all the way until breakfast. Flying becomes routine.. (Yes, I am old now)
Do anyone use MPC luggage tags too? Well, if you saw one guy in Pier F, hand-carry on a green tag, that could probably be me.

But I certainly would not be using the Green one. If you are Diamond, use your Diamond tags! The staff will treat you better.

If you put it on your handcarry, remove the aluminium holder - it can scratch your bag or your skin (got a nasty cut once from the holder and never used them again).
I put my old DM tag on one side and the new DM tag on the other. Instead of the metal wire, I attach it using fabric coated elastic (or the transparent rubber that QR provides at its check-in counters).
I love it as it's a "road warrior" status symbol. I tag it onto every bag I use for work. It's a nice bag accessory (or bag charm as the fashion industry call it).
It's a conversation starter too - I've been complimented for having a nice bag (Hermès / Berluti / Goyard usually) and then followed up with "I see you're a diamond member too".

I use all my MPC tags, and sometimes the mix gets funny, especially when I have a bag with a Green tag sat next to one with a DM tag.
sometimes i’ve gotten looks at the F boarding lane whilst holding a non-F boarding pass, carrying a bag with a green tag. All good fun though!

I have habbit of collecting memorable items. MPC tags are one of them.
The left one is about 15 years old; the right one is bit younger but still aged.
Please note that their holes are oval, not circle. Means they go with plastic leather belt...
It took a while to get through the metal rope..

I wonder how people think when they saw a guy with green tag but in Pier F.
"Oh, he must fly F class, probably the Happy New Year bug ticket, lucky xxxxx"

FWIW - contrary to its original purpose, the luggage tag is to show DYKWIA
Once I was on a CX KUL-HKG flight, the FA was surprised to see my UA 1K tag, rather than a CX tag, on my carry-on. Her look was like just discovered the new world...
