Is luggage likely to make it...? Thanks for any advice
It depends on where you fly from.
If you fly from Asia, flights arrive early when they depart on time.mY HKG flights always arrive 30min early. QR pads the schedule with some extra time.
If you fly from Europe the Ukraine and ME wars usually means a longer flying time and frequent late arrival.
I don't know from the US.
When you land, QR will have managed the situation. If you meet the MCT based on their estimated arrival time, no problem for you and bags. If not they will rebook you and retag your bags.
