Luoto: Basically these airline employees travel with the flight crew throughout the journey (including stopovers). Flight crew take their baggage into the cabin for the flight, but the ops team (for whom I am getting the tags) have their bags placed in the holds due to space restrictions in the cabin.
When the aircraft arrives at the destination, the bags in the hold are given to the ops crew (and not sent to baggage reclaim) and are then taken on the crew bus to the hotel. The airline does not provide tags to the ops team as they travel infrequently.
Tags have now arrived. Same size and quality as a BAA pass - they'll do the job well.
