What is this red and white luggage tag?
I just returned from a round trip on Southwest Airlines. When I got
home, I noticed that the return-trip baggage handlers put two tags on my suitcase. One was the usual barcoded tag with my name, destination, et cetera. The other was about 2" wide and 4 1/2" long, and was attached to the handle with an elastic string. It had diagonal red and white stripes on both sides, which were interrupted on one side by a rectangular white space where somebody might write information (but nobody did). I'm curious: does anybody know what this is? |

Tag is to alert baggage handlers to avoid injury when loading it.

It's to make sure the baggage handlers don't injure themselves when they pick it up. I know that in the UK they put a tag on everything over about 30 lbs. -- William Black I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
