this seems to be a problem of europe and usa etc.

in asia, in most countries i have been to the baggage everytime comes first.

for example in NRT if i have a connection time to bus or train i calculate 30mins from the time my plane arrived to the bus or train departure.

as in japan it is working all the time, i only missed my bus one time, by one minute but that time i only had 20min to connect.

i think there is not need for new tags for first/business, but they should get it worked alliance wide.

i think if the HONs and others here complain in an letter to LH or other leading star carriers, they will listen to this problem.

if we dont complain and complain and complain again the airlines will not change anything. or force the airports to handle the things the way it should be.
