Lucky you. My bags are out with the other red tags only about half the time.

Which stations?

Anyone have a photo of the IO tags out of interest for what they look like !?

No photo as the tag is long gone, but they are pale blue with an orange/red streak and the letters iO emblazoned on them.

i was expecting something more subtle, but they really do stand out. No cabin tag other than the tag appropriate to your cabin class.

That will explain why i was sitting here thinking i have never seen a IO bag tag ? I have seen someone escorted at LHR thou who was either IO or red carpet ?

No where near enough and even if I did get offered it I’d likely not be able to accept anyway.

im not bothered about status we fly j or f -means nothing much,can pay for the F lounge now too...

I like that iO can enter the Qantas Chairman’s Lounge in SYD and can enter QF domestic biz lounges with up to 4 guests who don’t have to be travelling (Au domestic terminals are open even to those not travelling).
