I'm aware that there are luggage tag threads in the SQ forum on TOF, e.g.

but I thought I'd start an updated one here - what tags do you have on your luggage ?
My rollaboard is well within the allowed dimensions so I don't need to put any status tag on there for any lenience (not that it would do any good with BAA in the UK!). I suppose something like the PPS tag would be good in case I misplace my hand luggage but (i) so far I've never been that careless; (ii) I don't want to attract unwanted attention; and (iii) from what I read on here, the PPS casing/tag would break very quickly and it's a PITA to get replacements here in the UK. As such, I only have a TOF luggage tag with one end diplomatically snipped off
- nobody has so far stopped me as a result of seeing that.
(As an aside, perhaps we need a SQTalk tag similar to the TOF one ? There are now 60+ registered members on here, I've only been fortunate enough to meet less than a dozen of you so it would be nice to be able to recognise someone upon an accidental meeting in SIN or somewhere else. Maybe someone could come up with a design if short of things to do on a Sunday afternoon ?)
My checked suitcase only has an IAPA tag and also an IAPA sticker stuck on my case inside and outside - both have my name and number. Guy Betsy mentioned it in one of the threads referred to above - for the baggage tracking if lost - so I thought if it's good enough for him, it's good enough for me*.
I don't attach a status tag such as PPS for reasons (ii) and (iii) above. However, I appreciate status may be useful in dealing with an airline if luggage has been lost.
* I'm not sure about the value of this. I've only had my luggage lost (as opposed to not making a connecting flight) once. Rather than sit at home doing nothing, I made lots of phone calls myself and when I eventually had confirmation that my luggage had been found, I phoned IAPA to tell them and had them tell me that (apparently!) they had just confirmed the same and were about to tell me.
