it felt like we had one of the last bags - maybe 8+ parties still waiting when we left. I know I’ve read on here that the priority luggage tags mean nothing so I guess this was further evidence if any was needed.
Officially the last bag was 15:52, so 1 hour and 31 minutes to offload. The performance level has now dropped to 55%, so it's not getting any better.
