Given that the labels are there to help identify the owner and hopefully reunited any lost/delayed luggage with that owner at the right destination, why does JY on the "Outward journey" think the "Tour" name and "Booking ref" would be the right information to supply to the airline? I'm sure the airline cares little about either.

I do actually delete these and write in date, airport codes e.g. LGW to SPU, airline, flight number and departing time.

For the "Return journey" I do the same. I do not include "Address" and "Post code" as this has been highlighted as a security risk letting someone know your house is potentially empty - and they could use a landline telephone number if included to check. I do add an email address with a mobile number, on both sides.

Just curious as to the rationale.

I completely understand your curiosity and I am sure this is a question that many of our customers wonder. The reason we include this information on your luggage labels is to help out our over overseas teams with hotel porterage. Plus, it may help you spot your fellow travellers in the airport and pick out the correct luggage from the conveyer belt at the airport.

If you would like to attach your personal details to your luggage, may I suggest buying a sturdy plastic tag that you can attach alongside your JY luggage tag. This way it will last the numerous journeys you take around the world.

However, your question has got us thinking here at JYHQ, so we will be reviewing our luggage labels to improve these for you in the future.

Kindest regards,

Surely AnneF is right. We need one JY luggage label on our hand luggage so we can look out for one another after we have checked in.

If 2 labels are needed for the main item of luggage (1 plus a spare) then a third one is needed for hand luggage especially to be identifiable to fellow travellers at the airport. When I receive my labels in the post, I think I will photo-copy (in colour) one of them just for my hand baggage.

Perhaps JY could think about providing plastic covers for them.

I do put one on my hand luggage, but I know a lot of fellow travellers don't now.

I never use a label for the hand luggage, but I need the spare one for the return journey as the one I use for the hold luggage usually gets torn and can't be used again. You must be one of the lucky ones who needs only one label for the entire holiday and the return journey!

I put mine on hand luggage on day 1 for "fellow traveller ID purposes" but then take it off and keep it as a replacement for the main luggage one in the event of needing it

I do agree with you that labels are very good at identifying fellow travellers and I used to put one on hand luggage, but since my experience with hold luggage labels being torn and destroyed, I try to save one for the return journey. Otherwise I would not have any left. Perhaps Just You can send 3 labels?
