I was sitting at the gate last Saturday, waiting for my United SFO-SEA flight to depart (gate changed to the International Terminal, BTW), and, thanks to the tag, spotted Stanford_1K exiting from my inbound aircraft. ^
Earlier that morning, I had a very nice visit with goalie, who was outbound to LAS for a weekend of adult activities.

I've got one on my laptop bag (right next to the "Wright is Wrong/Set Love Free" tag I snagged from a WN pilot) and one on my backpack.
No contacts, but I keep looking for that bright neon yellow ^

yes, they work
Last week found RockyP at the President's Club at FLL. A long time lurker, he was heading back to Columbus on a MR. I was heading back to PDX. We both were going for NW double miles. BTW, his tag looked shiny new not all crinkled like mine.
Also ran into a FTer on a BA flight LHR-FRA during the famous BA $20 sale to Europe, both of us were on the fare with our spouses.

Someone emailed me as to where to obtain these - answer - they are very cheap, and check the Flyer Talk store for them.

I've been wearing mine for a few months now (on my suitcase, not on myself), but unfortunately, have never seen any on someone else's bags. I'll keep looking, though!

Er... actually with so many pics linked to FT, it becomes easier to spot FTers these days. In the last couple of months I managed to spot 3 FTers without involving the FT tags...
Nevertheless, I'm considering to order these tags for me one of these days...

We live in such a small world. I was actually spotted on my SQ flight HKG-SIN a couple weeks ago by one of the LS from my flight in April. Don't know if he saw my name on the manifest or saw me boarding but I was just surprised
So happens on the same trip I was in a bar with my friend in SIN and a friend from HKG ran into me there. Guess you never know who you're going to see when traveling in the world.

Btw, I have a spare FT tag...I'll be back in the place you saw me last for the next couple of weeks, so if you want it you can buy me lunch.

Mine came in the mail yesterday. How do you attach them?! Where are the instructions?! I finally tucked the end loop through the punched hole. Is that how it's done? Or did I just jimmy-rig? I'd never seen the tags before... don't recall seeing the obnoxious neon-yellow.
They came with a sample box of #32 No-Jet-Lag homeopathic remedy I'm gonna try on my first red-eye next week and a Europe/Hawaii back-to-back trip in December. Has it worked for anyone? Also got Avis coupons. Very nice. Thank you!

To attach the tag/loop to the bag. Thread the other end of the loop through the bag's handle or similar point. Now thread the tag through the end of the loop that you just threaded. Pull taught.
