Just took my flight SYD-BNE-HKG.

The check in staff at SYD said there is no priority baggage for OWE unless travelling on business class. She also offered to put us on an earlier flight as there was a storm at sydney in the evening.

At BNE lounge there is a ground staff representing CX asking us for our baggage receipt and confirmed that our bags have arrived at CX aircraft so really a thumbs up!!!
