I'm traveling with family on vacation right now and checked bags for the first time in a while, so I got to experiment with the priority tag effect.

SFO-DEN-LHR(UA)-HEL(KF): Arriving at HEL we had to wait for all bags from this flight forever as Blue1 and SAS share the ground crew and they were way understaffed. When bags finally came on belt 1hr 20min after arriving at gate (sic!), 3 out of 4 of our bags came out among first. The 4th had been left in LHR as a 3 hour *A connection there had apparently been too tight <rolleyes> but at least we got nice *A overnight kits to give as gifts to relatives

HEL-WAW(KF): Our four bags were the first to drop on the belt and arrived just as we walked up, zero waiting. Much better than what we expected from Blue1 & Warsaw ^^

WAW-MUC-SFO(LH): I'll let y'all know in a couple of days
