So going to add my two bits worth....generally have no issues with the priority baggage (both domestic and international with VA and its partner airlines), usually find that it arrives on the carousel relatively early on, however, the Adelaide baggage handlers really need to get their act together. I don't usually check baggage for domestic trips, but when I need to I would like the fact that I've achieved some form of status with the airline to actually count (especially as I've paid from my own pocket to get to this status). More often than not in Adelaide my checked baggage turns up well after pretty much the majority of passengers have collected theirs. Case in point was last Monday from OOL to ADL. All of the priority baggage came out last - not just mine. "Domestic" blindness maybe?? The bags were clearly marked with the priority tag, so no excuses there. In the big scheme of things happening in the world today, doesn't even rate, but as mentioned earlier, if VA are going to offer 'extras' to status guests, then would have thought this would be something that would be fairly easy to accommodate.
