This I find funny. I have started a thread I am sure and posted on many just how substandard QF implementation of priority baggage is. On a QFF Advisory committee I advocated the poor implementation of a stated benefit long and loud enough to get removed (from the committee that is...!).
The substandard application is in my opinion the sole reason so many elites carry on only and so many once a year flyers carry 3 or 4 bags on if they can.
Last week alone landing in Adelaide (73H) - 28th bag off. Melbourne (73H) 19th bag off. NTL (via BNE) on crash8 - 21st bag off. Perth (A330) 47th bag off.
Statistically and allowing for J pax (I was in Y) if the priority baggage was adhered to wait would have been less than half on all bar PER (possibly)....
Intl landing in HKG or PVG tagging appears to be almost flawless. Back into Oz though......
QF indeed does have several forms of priority:
1) First on last off
2) In any order we damn well please
3) 1 priority, J or F for every 16 "common"
and so on..
