JalPak, I understand what you are saying but why don't we just make it uniform priority for all Emerald members + extra bagagge allowance. Is it really that difficult to make everyone agree to that?

20kg extra on all flights regardless of class of service where weight system applies

Priority tagging regardless of class of service.

Huge disadvantage for me with OW. Star Alliance really does make it more hassle free for gold members, priority baggage with 90% of the carriers is actually prioritized on OW and even interlining, the baggage still comes out first.

Also, not everyone can travel on 2 week trips with 30kg of baggage, especially when crossing from one hemisphere to the other. Believe, there are many people every day who travel, pay huge prices for their tickets and are skimped b/c of this stupid baggage charge.
