Memorabilia

I had the exact same experience with my Planetag. Truly bizarre.

Makes perfect sense. The Planetag is meant to go on your luggage. So now you know where missing luggage goes.

I'm in the UK and one or two companies have started actively marketing aircraft parts to collectors.

I bought some economy seats from G-VAST (Virgin Atlantic 744) and a flight deck escape hatch from G-CIVY (BA 744)

The prices weren't really that bad and shipping was free. A few years ago I paid a lot more for a US Airways 734 over wing exit.

The accidental collector: A peek into the history of SIA in a three-storey home

Dr Ong Pang Yeow owns more than 2,500 pieces of Singapore Airlines memorabilia in his house in Kent Ridge. He inherited the collection from his father, who was a former employee of the airline, and it continued growing after his father’s death in 2020.

So I just read there are collector cards from some airlines! Any AFF members holding out on this?

Like baseball cards, Pokemon, etc...



From what I've found so far, Delta and a couple of other US carriers have them, other airlines including BA have done them in the past - usually just featuring their fleet

You are supposed to go up to the pilot and ask for them - the pilot has to carry stocks of them in his/her pocket for such purposes, Americans like this sort of thing. I think they have something similar where you can ask sojers for challenge coins - if you find one who is not burning your village.
