Over the years, we’ve seen airlines offer luggage tags to elite flyers as a reward for their loyalty. Alaska Airlines is now introducing luggage tags for its loyalest flyers, and they’re pretty special…

I didn’t do DFW AKL this year my dad went to the hospital. That’s a lot of million miles right there. It adds up. I still did 100k+ this year. Dfw Syd. Syd lax. Jfk gru. Gru Jfk. Lax hnd 2X. Phl zrh. Dfw fra. Iah lax koa. Jfk lax 2x. Iah lhr BOM. Bom DOH JFK. I had a monster year. Q Suites was on point. I’d say close to Emirates F . QF Y was surprisingly good on the 789.
My Comment is: they give million milers this tag. Most of those people pieced their miles together over 20 or more years. However the true “Road warriors” (like myself) that are 75K, 100K and more don’t get crap. They discontinued the 75K tags years ago as well as the elite cards (MVP and above)–supposedly to reduce the use of plastic – even though they still have the same vendor to make crew tags.
I can’t wait for the backlash of this to the mega elites. Within 48 hours you will hear something.
What an excellent gesture. Looking forward to obtaining mine. Would be fascinating if there were a website advising what part of the aircraft your tag hails from.
Meanwhile, in AA, when you get a million miles, you get a bottle of piss and card printed with toner set to 10%. Exhilarating benefits to match.
Thanks Ben . I went to the plane tags site and brought my self a F4 Phantom tag. They also had SR71 Blackbird ones and B29, F16, F14 . wow never heard of that site before. I am feeling pretty happy right now thanks to you. Merry Christmas
OK, this is an excellent perk for MM status, and nerdy as hell in a good way.
As an Air Canada million miler, I do have it emblazoned on my annual luggage tags and got a nice model 787 with my name on it, but these tags are next level. Here's hoping Air Canada is watching.
Meantime, I'll make do with a tag I picked up a few months ago made from a piece of an AC A320 I flew on twice in 2019.
They also specially block off the galley with a contraption made from seat belts so that they can celebrate you from afar! AA loves customers almost as much as Comcast does.
Alaska Airlines is now introducing luggage tags for its loyalest flyers...
But not for professional blog writers who speak the bestest English.
I don’t even think AA puts your MM status on your virtual card on the app , so you can forget about any real recognition. AA MM program has become laughable.
Unpopular opinion - luggage tags (especially when placed on backpacks and hand baggage) are the cringiest thing imaginable. It screams DYKWIA.
and, back in the day, Delta gave Million Milers lifetime access to the Crown Room ... I may be the only one here old enough to remember that ... day ...
Interesting they chose a (pretty young) A319 which came from Virgin America to make these tags. I realize this was not the main consideration - but not quite the spirit of Alaska...
I’d be much happier about this had they not used former Virgin America planes to make these. Still kind of salty about Alaska especially considering they basically haven’t done anything in SFO to make up for that loss. Are the only planes they’ve used to make these tags former Virgin America ones? No Alaska 737-400s or 737-700s?
