My human updated my Flight Memory and Dorkfest put me over 550,000 miles in total! (which is exactly why my vinyl is coming apart) my.flightmemory.com/panambag

Well, on the way back I had to go in the overhead bin because my human got assigned 1F. But at least in that small bin over row 1, I don't slide around too much.

Pan Am Bag @panambag.bsky.social · Sep 13

When my human's upgrade cleared, there were several seats left to choose from and she intentionally did not pick row 1 because she knows I don't like having to fly in the overhead bin.

Over here in 3F, I have plenty of room!

Pan Am Bag @panambag.bsky.social · Sep 15

There were so many people there, I ran out of characters!

Blaine Nickeson @bnickeson.bsky.social · Sep 15

I see how it is. You can walk next year, bag! 😉

When my human listens to TV/music/podcasts, etc. I naturally overhear just from lurking around the house

Brett Snyder @crankyflier.com · Sep 6

yeah! come check it out, don't pretend you and your bag don't know me...

Pan Am Bag @panambag.bsky.social · Sep 7

“The bag knows me” is the new “Do you know who I am?”

Pan Am Bag @panambag.bsky.social · Aug 20

I love airport art, but those bags on a skewer give me nightmares!

Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) @flysea.bsky.social · Aug 19

Since 1968, we’ve brought art from here and around the world to your journey—and it keeps growing. 🎨✈️

Pan Am Bag @panambag.bsky.social · Aug 20

I have been informed that after my human gets to Platinum, I will finally get the fancy bag tag I deserve!
