Last week I flew 4 OW trips on DL metal, all connecting via ATL. I had a bag to check each time and on each trip, my connection time was around an hour. As a Platinum, the luggage tag on all four trips never showed PRIORITY on the sides as it normally does, but had the HOT tag, presumably because of the short time between flights.

The only thing I could think of, perhaps, is that HOT outdoes PRIORITY on a baggage tag since this was the only thing constant on all four trips. Anyone have any other guesses as to why PRIORITY wouldn't show up on a bag tag for a Platinum elite?
