Priority baggage?

Hi All,

Just a quick question. I've been trying to find out if EY offer Priority baggage and cannot find any info. Do EY have priority Business/First class tags? or is it all computerized?

I understand that tags are becoming a thing of the past with a few airlines now - as they are opting for the code to be written in so that the bags once scanned go directly into a different container.

Just curious...

Yes, at least for F. Dark Brown. Not sure about biz but I would assume so

EDIT (Just flew EY last night in F - I said YES, they have f tags (and also have Business class too) but they are not wort the paper they are printed on.

Priority handling is generally done by computer based on the printed baggage tag. The Priority tag is mostly to make you feel good, but could possibly provide a benefit if the final destination is a smaller airport with manual handling.

yes they still have tages for either business or first. Barcode also mentions priority. There does seem to be issues in some places however as my bags are consistently last out of plane over 75% of the time
