DME luggage-different flights

[Lesley Wake]

Are the DME luggage tags connected to your actual flight at all? My sister and I are taking 2 different flights-hers on Southwest and mine on Virgin America (each booked with points). The flights actually arrive within 10 minutes of each other. Then when we leave her flight departs 1.5 hrs before mine. To uncomplicate things when I scheduled DME I just gave her flight info (also so we are on the same bus going back to airport). Is that fine or will there be issues with our bags?

The DME tags have nothing to do with your flight - they just tell DME employees which hotel your bags need to go to.

The yellow tags are there soley to alert baggage handlers that that bag doesn't go out to the baggage claim area, but is put aside for DME CMs. Then, the bag will be put aside in the appropriate resort area, and then loaded onto the truck for resort delivery. When you arrive, or on what airline, makes no difference. You don't even have to arrive on the same day as others in your party do!!!

If you're feeling squeamish you can always call DME directly and talk to them. 866-599-0951 I hope ya'll have a great trip!

Ok that's what I thought! Thanks for confirming!
