And even though my bags were tagged priority, they were the last ones to come out. The first bags also took nearly 45 mins to come out. So be aware. Also, QR have been using gate 47 which is the only widebody gate in the satellite concourse of t8, which means you’ll have quite a bit of a hike from gate to immigration
Agreed! With GE immigration is 5min but waiting on bags is the issue even with priority tags. Nothing like 90 min on either QR701 or QR705 for me but definitely about 20-30min each time and that was after hiking from gate 47. However I have noticed QR703 seems to park at the main concourse of T8
