If you're a Premier member (I am a Premier Exec), should the ticket agent always mark your checked baggage with the little "PRIORITY" flag, even when traveling in coach?
And does the little baggage flag really make a difference? I've had my bag marked first class only to grow a few gray hairs waiting for it to arrive at the carousel.

I think I reported my experience in early January when the check-in agent at LAX ignored me as she sent two bags on the belt and after I withheld the third bag to get her attention, she placed a Priority tag on the third and gave me a look. Yes, the third came out long before the others in MEL. I complained to the 1K desk and they confirmed that even award travel qualified for Priority tags because it had been earned.
