Small Baggage Tag, Big Risk: Why You Shouldn't Throw Away Your Tag at the Airport

Answer

Why should I keep my baggage tag after flying into Mallorca?

A baggage tag can contain more than your flight number. In some cases, the barcode or booking code can be used to access travel details, which makes discarded tags a small but real privacy risk. Keeping the tag until you are home, or destroying it properly, is the safer choice.
