Do you tip the curbside baggage handler at airports?

[smalljawguy]

Typically a couple of dollars per bag minimum

[Chopper]

I usually have only one bag to check but they save me from standing in line on the inside so I typically tip them at least $5.00. Money well spent.

[catjuggin]

I’ll hand him $5 if they are loading it up
and putting the tag on in and putting on the conveyor. Not the person at the counter if I’m
putting it on the scale

Dollar a bag is the norm...

same with hotel van drivers they load and unload my bags for me...cost me 12 dollars per trip on average...and I don’t mind a bit.

Hello 1985............

I think the norm has went up.

I normally tip $10.00

Same here and have never had an issue with baggage not getting to my destination. Normally $10 when flying over Thanksgiving or Christmas.

Truth be told...I rarely check a bag...but next time I’ll up the tip

If you choose to use a faster service it’s expected to tip them

I tip most anyone who assists me with something

Went to a bar in Atlanta in 2004. Largest bar in the southeast. Every time you went to the men's room there was a guy who handed you a towel and offered you a cologne or something. Dude worked for tips. After 3 hours of getting primed before the bar and endless rounds I was a steady customer. About the third or fourth trip I told the guy he was getting too expensive to be around.

Pilots are cheap, real cheap.

Dean, I got called out by an FO a year or so ago for only tipping the van driver a dollar. He told me the norm was $2. My norm is still $1, gets too expensive as much as we travel.

[turfy49431]

Always do. They work their butt off all day and deserve it

This guy didn’t look like he works hard. I think the folks at the inside check in counter work harder and they don’t get tip.
I guess next time I’ll tip them some.

[haha]

Yes I tip them.
