Should AFF members use luggage tags to identify each other?

[samh004]

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

Argh!

That's word for work the same post that anat0l made at the start of this thread?! So, this point has already been made?

I would put my hand up for tags as well. I think QF009 has the right idea - simple, one tag that is recognisable and wouldn't be confused with other tags, no specific identifiers other than it's an AFF tag, and then you can have the discussions about who you might be after someone sees the AFF tag and says hello. Skip the different coloured tags - it's not something where having statuses adds to the experience - it's just to give people an opening to say "hello, I see you're on AFF too!".

For the most part you'd probably realise both you and they have status if you were meeting them in the lounge.

A very onesided outcome of this poll indeed.

AFF members have spoken! Thanks everyone who voted.

I will discuss with ADMIN the next approach and keep everyone informed...


Mr!

Sounds like a good outcome. Let me know how/where to dump my hard earned cash

 

[thegurio]

Yup - let us know when and where!

I've decided not to vote.my luggage tags seem to mysteriously disappear,even those on my carryons.Just lost my last EXP tag and I cant get any more.

I am in favour of the tags in principle. In practise - like drron I always seem to lose them. Have lost almost all my FT and SQT ones already, and not using the remainder for fear of losing them all.

What's with you guys :?:

I've never lost a single baggage tag :!:

Yay for me!

I have to say, this site is addictive.... let me know when the tags are in play...

Welcome to our world! :mrgreen: Muhahahahahahaha......

Great new look to the site!!

With the white circle - the blue etc - I can visualise what the tags could look like...

anat0l and flashware, get them design skills in action!! BTW - flashware, it was adobe photoshop CS3 we were talking about...

If anyone is going to play with a design, remember the final will need to be in CMYK and 300DPI at a minimum

Shall we have a design comp? The prize being the KUDOS of designing the AFF luggage tags? Thoughts everyone...


Mr!

Mine have been smashed by baggage handlers and taxi drivers...

The conveyor belt has managed to cut my QF Gold tags a couple of times so I do not bother with luggage tags anymore. I think the QF Platinum tags are still in mint condition....

I'm hoping mine are in mint condition - I don't know, I keep giving them away!


FWIW, when the AFF tags get up and running, they will be my first luggage tags used (with the exception of a few years ago I had a WP tag on a lappy bag)

I happened to be looking at the gazette when I was thinking about what the design for the tag could be, now I don't need to.

I don't use my baggage tags on checked baggage :shock: only cabin baggage. That could explain why mine are perfectly OK bar a bit of peeling at the edges.

I probably should add here that they have been on alternate holidays at times but have always come back when the bags have come back :!: :shock:

Not sure who you guys have been looking at for pricing, etc. but these guys came through our stand @ CeBIT a few weeks ago (Plastic Cards by the Australian Plastic Card Company - Redegroup, Australia) and I noticed they do them also; might be worth asking for a price also.

So how are these going? Just asking and hoping there may be a chance the first batch could be distributed at the October function in Sydney.

I think the project is still in design phase and is essentially on ice.

I should probably pull out my virtual pencil and start thinking of some prospective designs, but then again there are a lot of 'should' tasks that I have right now.....
