I usually fly F or Business class and although I try to avoid checking bags at times it is unavoidable. Domestically,when checking bags (UA & AA)they always put a "Priority" tag on the bags which I admit makes me feel hopeful, but 9x out of 10 the bags come off in the middle or the end of the baggage claim process. Internationally, the reverse seems to be true and it is the exception when the bags don't come off first. Why can't the US airlines get this right? Anyone have any stategies for this problem?
