As a Plat, one of the perks is priority handling and delivery of luggage, irrespective of class of travel.

Anyone else experience this, and does anyone have the inside on why this is being done. Seems extremely odd - do they have personnel tearing off tags??? it surely was there at check in.
I’ve heard of this recently - worth a line into Ek to see why they aren’t being delivered it should not be the case as a plat or gold that you don’t get baggage priority. tags don’t do a lot though as they are hard coded into separate bins
