I'm flying next week from YUL to HKG via YYZ in Y as a SL for the first time through a ticket purchased straight from CX that includes the WS codeshare service from YUL to YYZ (I used to purchase them separately).
Will CX staff in YYZ attach priority tags if WS tags it all the way to HKG? Or will WS have them in YUL?
I, too, am in a big rush to leave HKG asap as I have a commitment shortly after the arrival time.
Thanks.
They might, but they probably won't. Seems to me previous reports we've had about them doing this were based on class of service, not status. I know that when I did an AA-CX connection at ORD last year, I realized in HKG that the AA agent in DCA had not priority tagged the bag (I was in Y), and CX had not put a tag on in transit. I hadn't noticed when I checked in because it was early and I was still half-asleep, and anyway I wasn't sure if oneworld rules provided for priority handling based on status.

any advice have about 4.5hours layover in LAX
Re-check in LAX??
AA will be able to check your bag all the way through to DEL. If this is one ticket they'll see the onward connections automatically. Otherwise show them your e-tickets for all legs. No need to collect/re-check in either LAX or HKG.
As a precaution, I usually show a CX agent the bag tag number I receive from AA. I thought I read once that this is helpful to make sure CX's computers correctly match you and the bag and know the bag should be loaded when you board, but it might be an unnecessary step.
