What is the red tag that says Remove Before Flight?

Remove before flight is a safety warning often seen on removable aircraft and spacecraft components, typically in the form of a red ribbon, to indicate that a device, such as a protective cover or a pin to prevent the movement of mechanical parts, is only used when the aircraft is on the ground (parked or taxiing).

Red tags are used by some North American airlines on *approved* cabin bags, ie ones that have been cleared to bring on board, not ones that are to be put in the hold. That said, it is possible that even regulation bags will have to be gate-checked.

Do you travel a lot and leave all sorts of labels and baggage stickers attached to your suitcase? That may look cool, but it isn't a great idea. It can confuse the baggage sorting system, because it doesn't know which label to read. That's why we advise that you remove all labels and stickers from previous trips.
