Only once?! Have mine taken off the plane at least once a year. I add another "crew" tag to it each time to celebrate. It looks like a gypsy bag with so many "crew", "not yours!", "wrong one!", etc tags on it in white, red, yellow and black. Once it ended up in MCO baggage claim while I was on a 3 hr sit in RDU. I do try to check on it after every leg.
