*G Companion Baggage Tag Incident
Had a very unpleasant incident in Cancun a few days ago. Me (non-UA *G) and a companion (no status) on the same PNR were checking baggage. My printed bag tag came out with "PRIO", companion's did not. The agent didn't want to apply the orange priority tag to my companion's baggage. I had to argue with him for a good 15 minutes and show him the United website rules before he would oblige. That was ridiculous, but now I wonder, why didn't the companion bag tag have "PRIO" listed in the first place?
