FT Baggage Tags
 

I was wondering how many people actually have/use the FT baggage tags? (They are only $1.50 + $1 S&H) It really would be a great way of noticing/meeting other FT'ers out there when you are roaming the terminals or waiting in line... somewhere.

Just wondering.

I've got one on my carry-on and one on my laptop bag. See you airside http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

chexfan, you may want to read a thread I started a while back about the tags.

I had a 'tag' encounter in SLC airport about a month ago with a CS Manager from Starwood. She told me they (SPG) watch FT very closely to get feedback from seasoned travellers.

shadow... wonderful. Thanks for the link.

SO... has anyone made a "FT-Connection" via the luggage tags?

How do I get some of 'em tags? I checked the old thread, but it was not helpful...

Only $1.50 a piece (with S&H adding $1 for each 10 ordered).

mike.

Thanks!

I have one on my rolling bag and one on my laptop case. I have not met anyone from FT (then again, I am usually running though the airport, but that is a different story). However, the other morning (5:00 am to be exact) as I was leaving the Hyatt O'Hare, someone noticed the tag and asked me about FT. I told them all about it and they told me they were going to join!

Got my four luggage tags last week and will be using them for the first time next month at LAX/DFW/MEM/STL -- hopefully will meet someone and get my seven bucks worth!!

Thanks chexfan for the link. I didn't realize the "sootkase tags" were available now. Placed my order for 6.

Hate to report, but the Flyer Talk luggage tags don't hold up. All of my have broken near the hole where the plastic band attaches. Even the one on my computer case has broken (as well as the one on the roller bag I carry on). The plastic is very thin and brittle. Randy, we need a product recall. I love having FT tags, but all four of mine are broken.

I have one on my Tumi carry-on...breaking apart after 12 or so transatlantic flights...

They are very useful, as that has been the way that other FTers can make certain that it is indeed me (Belle3388 and Gaucho100k).

They have not done well on checked baggage, and an improved design for additional durability would be appreciated.

I have a FT luggage tag!

A gift. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif
