Priority Baggage Handling for *G?
This is my personal experience with TG on my luggage. Usually, I seldom checked in my baggage, but for this time, I did. I was on TG from SIN-BKK-PVG-BKK-SIN. When I arrived in PVG from SIN, I had to wait at least 10min for my luggage to appear, though I have been tagged as "* Alliance Priority". During this time, other untagged luggages have already appeared on belt.
On my return leg from PVG to SIN, I had to wait for more than 15minutes for my luggage to appear though it has been tagged as well and many others untagged passengers have already collected their luggage.
Does TG honour *G priority luggage handling or that they just dump the luggage with other untag luggages? Any personal experiences on this?

As a star alliance gold, they will put a business lugguage tag for you, you have to ask them. it made alot of different when they put it on. Most TG ground don't know what priority mean, just F and C.</font>

some time ago I always got one, as just a ROP-member, but it made no difference at all: flying AMS-[FRA/MUC]-BKK, as several containers cannot reveal from outside if the priority is inside, or in another, and I guess they just load till they're full anyway. But for BKk/D.Muang 10 mins is not bad at all, in fact a velocity record (not that it matters much, as likely you'll have to stand some 20 mins in queing up for immigration).

Such discrepancy within the alliance.

I fly TG only on domestic legs and they always tag my luggage with the orange *A priority tag - my experience even when flying Y has been that my luggage is always the first few out on the carousel on arrival.
