Should AFF members use luggage tags to identify each other?

[munitalP]

A quick poll - would you place an AFF member identifying luggage tag on your bag so other members would recognise you as a member at a glance?

Mr!

 

[anat0l]

Yes - if you can devise a good one.

FT already has a bright yellow one....blue ones match AFF's colours but they don't give themselves away as "priority" colours

Argh!

 

[Groundfeeder]

I use my FT tags on checked luggage and QP tags on cabin bags - don't know if there's room for more!!

 

[Evan]

Everybody could just join FT and use there tags if somebody is too lazy to design a good one. Usually the only other tag i have is my QF ones.

 

[notzac]

If they were nice ones (and I'd be prepared to pay for that), then yes. Not a huge fan of the FT ones.

I think they would still be laminated cardboard. Would be really odd and interesting if we got premium ones, e.g. similar to QF bag tags, or DJ "credit card" looking bag tags, or embossed / engraved (almost military dog-tag style) bag tags...... :shock: *the mind boggles*

I would - might even help me distingush my bag from 50 others on the baggage caraousel. You know, black bag with a Qantas luggage label.

There's a solution - paint your bag hot pink!

If my recent trips are anything to go by there are a few too many taking this option making it almost as difficult!!!! Probably better off bringing out the crocodile skin trunk......

Slightly OT....
I recently replaced my black luggage with a set of light brown ones, just because the old baggage recognition routine at the carousel got very tiresome.
But after only a few (or several dozen, if I think back:shock trips, thanks to the "kind, thoughtful and gentle treatment" inflicted by the average baggage handler, they now look like they've been buried by the dog and dug back up again.

But as for luggage tags, if somebody designs something smart and atttractive I think it would be a goer. It would probably make outsiders wonder which airline or club you belong to as well...

This is AFF, not FT, thats why I have posed the Q

Watch this space (depending on poll results and ADMIN approval) for 3 designs hehehe Gold, Silver and Bronze maybe?

That's more or less what I was thinking -- laminated cardboard looks a bit tacky IMHO. I did a quick Google and it turns out you can get all kinds of nice bag tags ("contact us for prices" of course, but you can at least see the different kinds that money can buy)

 

[leny]

I'd buy them.

Or have the tags Hot Pink. :mrgreen:

Of course i know its AFF, but i think a reasonably proportion of us also visit FT even if i don't i still take a look once a week so, most read thread would be the good deal premium fares one And if people here have not ventuered over to FT then i recomend the "what have you found in hotel rooms" thread as a really interesting read


Hmmm, maybe just 2 types even, or only 1.
I dont think the credit card style cost that much these days, getting cards printed in easy these days.

 

[Evan]

Or have the tags Hot Pink. :mrgreen:

Like bright yellow, that works... maybe lime green

 

[pauly7]

Yep if they were premium and looked hot

Nah, they are quite cheap - short production runs between $3 & $5 each depending on quality


Mr!

 

[JohnK]

Do people actually look at luggage/bag tags when walking through the airport or in the Qantas Lounges?

I used the yellow FT luggage tags for a while but since I upgraded my luggage I have not bothered to put on any luggage tags. Kiwi Flyer was handing out the FT luggage tags for free at one of the Kiwi Mainland Dos.

I voted NO to AFF luggage tags as I will not be purchasing them....

 

[thewinchester]

Voted yes, and I'd be more than prepared to pay for high-quality credit-card styled ones too.
