tip priority tag due to have bulk ticket

Does anybody have any idea on what to say to a sky cap or ticket agent on how to get my bag tag with a priority label on my bag since i will never get elite andd would like to know what it feels like to have a priority tag on my bag and to have people look at it and then me.

In my experience the priority tag does nothing. Baggage does not come out any quicker at my destination. This is on UA.

For me, I've found that "priority tagging" only works about half the time on CO and virtually never on HP.

Rule of thumb, "the earlier a bag is checked, the later it falls down the shoot."

But Emmett, I thought you were an elite, and had extensive experience with priority tags already?

Uhmmm, maybe I'm missing something here, but what does the topic have to do with anything here? I don't see anything about a bulk ticket mentioned anywhere on this thread . *Yawn* I'm going back to bed.

Come on Emmett...we are not fools on this board...I have read your past posts and your stories change every time. Either I am naive or I owe you an apology...

Emmett may have a point. Last week a very attractive woman offered to buy me a drink because of the elite tag on my luggage.

I do believe it is time for me to attach my Elite luggage tags!

Ok Emmett...I will see if a woman will buy me a drink with all of my tags, I certainly would need an ambulance to take me to the jetway. Anyway e-mail me and I will send you a brand new, shiny FT luggage tag. We all need to feel important..I just re -qualified for AA Explat today and I'm 30k shy of the million mark! Good Luck!
