I am a frequent flyer. As part of my business I have to travel the world and therefore I have accumulated enough milage to achieve the highest frequent flyer status in two airlines. One of the things that frustrates me is that my luggage is always the last to come on the belt at the baggage claim, so that I am often last to leave. Normally I fly long hours, intercontinental flights. So I would like to be the first to grab a Taxi. I have put all my high status bagagge ID's on my luggage and the airlines normally also put a priority tag on them when I check-in. Why can´t the airlines manage a system where priority luggage gets first on the belt on arrival? This would be the equivalent to an express check-out at a Hotel, or the flip-side of the express check-in that my status gives me when I arrive at the airport.

Of course, they do have such tags for business and first class travellers -- and charge a high premium for it. (I grant you that it doesn't always work as adversited, but it does seem to wrok more often than not.) You might think this would be a good reward for premium level frequent flyers.
Virgin Atlantic Airline flights from the USA to London have this service already for their "Upper Class" or first class passengers. Upper Class passenger luggage comes off the belt first. I've flown this route many times and my luggage is almost always one of the first 25 bags off the belt.
I'm thinking that you're such an organised guy, you always arrive at the airport early, and your luggage goes on first. Consequently, it's at the back of the cargo hold and comes off last...
Hi,
I have read your comments about the luggage and i agree with what you are saying thats why my uncle set up a luggage delivery service that picks up your suitcases from your home/work and delivers direct to your hotel anywhere in the world.This means no more waiting at the terminal for your cases you will always be the first one out of the airport!!!!
Why don't you have a look at our website www.directbaggage.com and give us a try we can offer great discounts if you are a frequent flyer
Look forward to hearing any comments
