If you fly on commuter, or feeder, airlines (e.g. Delta Connection, NW Airlink, United Express), you will notice that your carry on luggage will begin to carry a forest of planeside check tags. I decided to stop this waste of paper and laminated tags for those airlines which I frequently fly commuter. In addition to the tags, I also laminated the tear-off stub, so that I have proof that the bag is mine.
Most comments that I have received from airline personnel have been quite positive. Only on NWA was I warned that, without a destination on the tag, it was in danger of ending up at the checked luggage area, rather than planeside. So I carry a whiteboard marker and write the destination airport code on the label. As soon as I pick up my bag, a quick wipe with a finger clears the tag, ready for the next trip.
