Was at a remote out station recently, and the gate checks were delivered in about 30 seconds. I commented that I was not used to such speedy service-especially at Newark.

The GA asked of I was 1K. I said yes. She then said that "we will have new priority 1k/GS tags for gate checks that you will be assured to get your bag back first-just like checked bags".

Anyone have any further info? Supposedly this will start around 7/1.
