Priority Baggage on QFi - has this premium pax benefit been eroded too?

[Deleted member 33742]

I always thought the tagging of priority bags did little more than give you an almost guaranteed spot on the plane- at least in Australia anyway.

So if the plane is overloaded and they need to ditch bags they ditch non priority first. Can happen a lot on full dash 8 with a few pax transferring from international flights.

Granted some ports seem to give priority to first class tags etc but I don't think it's a widely applied rule.

Definitely appears to be non existent in Australia. If they come out early it seems to be coincidence.

My experience at least anyway.

My experience with SYD-CNS is that business tagged bags do indeed come out before everyone elses, albeit with a few non-priority bags thrown in the mix, but overall all bags tagged come out first. The exception to that is when my colleague who connected from HBR (same plane was used) had to wait for his bags (did not see any other business/priority tagged bags after that), they came out shortly after mine and I'm a NB flying on red-e tickets.

Oh dear.

We should all spare a thought for Stephanie Rice, who just tweeted:



Next time I'll just be grateful if my baggage arrives the same month as my flight does!!

In fairness, Rice has just followed up with this (which makes this post not nearly as funny):

Was probably shipped back with UPS (Olympic Logistic Provider)

So the luggage benefits have been eroded for the Olympians as well
Though... Return luggage quotas/allowances may have been performance based
