I don't, but would REALLY like to have some.

I always like to see what tags other people have.

Anyone know where I can get some? I would like to put some on my backpack (seriously) and my suitcase.

I have an assortment of tags on all my bags. Fortunately, I was elite during the years that the hotels and airlines were sending tags along with your new elite card, so I have a pretty good collection. On my briefcase, I have the following (on a single ring): Continental OnePass Elite, Starwood Platinum Preferred Guest, AmWest FlightFund Elite, Prince Preferred, Delta Skymiles Gold Preferred, British Airways Executive Club, South African Voyager, USAirways Chairman's Preferred, Priority Club Rewards Gold, Northwest Airlines Worldperks and TAM Fidelidade. Almost every time I fly, someone comments "you must fly alot."

Last November I was on the phone with a UA CSR and asked about priority tags. I was informed that since the airline was in bankruptcy, I was asking a lot to think that they might have priority tags.

Have not asked about it since UA is out of bankruptcy.

Last November I was also in an UA RT first class and the TA gave me priority tags for my checked bag. In the way back I asked for them and I was given them though she didnt seem too happy about it.
Generally I dont carry tags. My bags are quite easy to recognize. While on domestic flights i try to pack as light as I can, and if everything can coexist with my laptop in my backpack, life is good. If not, I've got a Speedo gym bag, light blue with white straps that has been with me for oh so many years... still going strong though. While on international flights I have 2 WW2 militry duffle bags, tough as steel and quite roomy. The even have patched holes in them which I like to think are bullet holes. Bought them back in 1997 for 20 bucks each from a military surplus catalog. In fact these bags have been extremely valuable over the years of moving from place to place mostly due to their durability and volume.

Same here... in a couple years of flying since I put yellow FT tags on both carryon and checked, no one has ever approached me on the basis of seeing the tags. Now, maybe some have noticed, but didn't approach me for whatever reason.

I understand since people in general like to keep to themselves in airports, but if I saw an FT tag I would at least say hi to that person.

But I have to say on the flipside that *I* have also never noticed another pax with FT bag tags.

Perhaps it is the routes I am flying ;) ?

I just got my bright yellow FT tags in the mail - because I thought it would be fun to aid in recognizing other FTs on the road - but THEY'RE HUGE!

I never expected them to be this big - don't know if I can put a tag the size of a foot long ruler on my luggage!

Why so big? :eek: :eek: :eek:

I've got matching PriorityClub tags on my checked and hand luggage. Makes me certain I'm taking the right bag when collecting my luggage again.

Got it on my hand luggage in case I leave it somewhere I might get it returned to me instead of blown up.

I seem to be in the minority until I get onto a BA flight to LCY and then it's gold tags aplenty on the hand luggage.

Got mine last week and I have the same reaction ... well perhaps one less " :eek: "

Priority club tags here as well.

I like the FT tags. It makes it really easy to find my bags.

My 5.5year old daughter loves her FT tags as well, they go nicely with her DL PM and UA Premier tags.

I'm flying next week - and I'll see how it works. The tag looks so big on a 20" rollerboard it seems like someone in baggage handling will cut it off. But we'll see :cool:
