Recently, I got the first class priority tag for QR business class.
BA also provides F tag.
JL also provides F tag.
My only one exception is JL domestic.
A very knowledgeable checkin agent doublechecked manual carefully, she didn't attach the priority tag. I have been many JL flights, but that was only one occasion I couldn't get the priority tag.

About CX's priority bag handling, I sent a claim about handling at NRT several years ago. CX Tokyo office called me to confirm a situation. Then he said that they were going to monitor and improve handling.
Anyway, at HND, IMHO, priority baggage handling is good.

To answer your question: DM and DM+ get F tag, SL and GO get J tag on CX FLTs. I don't think this distinction is made on KA FLTs, but I could be wrong.

The approach is inconsistent across different OW airlines. I have flown BA Y (within Europe) and they flatly refused to give me baggage priority tags even though I am OWE (CX DM). It isn't a OW benefit - so just think yourself lucky if you get it, and that you are getting "normal" treatment if you don't

Anyone have OWS (not OWE) experience flying on CX? Main reason I'm asking is because I'm wondering whether I should use my OWS status or MPC silver on an upcoming flight. OWS I can bring one guest into the lounge, but on the other hand, I could also arrive later at the airport and not use the lounge. And seems like baggage priority would be better for this trip, as I do want to get out of the airport quickly at the destination. :td:

normally they dont tag it. sometimes if i ended up in the F counter, they would give it to me.

From my experience, QF Gold (=Sappire) & Platinum (=Emerald) do get J tag and F tags respectively on CX and JL.s

Speaking of OW benefits, I once flew a BA domestic flight in South Africa (operated by Conair) and the flight agent simply refused to give me a priority tag. At that point, I did not know that tagging isn't an oneworld benefit, and as I had a meeting to go to, I kinda insisted. She reluctantly tagged me, but the tag was removed later.

Guess AA is nice. They always put their priority tags on my bags if I fly AA first.

Dont always get j tags as jl sapphire (osw) on cx

On my most recent flight home, the agent forgot to tag my checked bags with priority tags.

However they both came out with the rest of the priority stuff, so I'm assuming it's somehow flagged in the system?

I would think you can use MPC silver on the flight to get baggage priority and still bring in a guest to the lounge by showing your OWS card? OWS can access any OW lounge when flying any OW airline which fits this case.

I'm not sure though if it's good enough to just show the OWS card at the lounge, or would they insist on seeing your OWS status printed on the BP.

AA Plat - OWS

Got J tag

I don't think my flight HKG-PVG has F so it comes out pretty quickly. Still, there're tons of tags there.

No status

JFK-HKG F
HKG-SIN J (no F on the flight)

Got F tags and my bag came out first at SIN

You can use whichever FF programme you like for the flight, and present your OWS at the lounge to gain access. oneworld rules clearly state you can access a lounge if flying a oneworld marketed and operated flight and you present your card at a oneworld-operated lounge - http://www.oneworld.com/ffp/lounge-access. There is no provision stating that you must use the same programme for mileage accrual on the flight

When I am flying out of LHR on CX in business class I usually use the BA F lounge, as I prefer it to CX's. The flight and BP are linked to CX/MPC, but I have no problem getting access with the BP and my MPC DM card.

Just flew US Airways, got the priority tag. Was also able to use AA Admiral's Club. YES!
