Hi Guys,

Every time I do checked luggage, it either gets a priority tag or business tag. The business one is much better as it comes out quicker of course but why cant I get business all the time??

Are QF Gold supposed to get business tags or priority tags..

Everyone has priority tags these days so whats the point in that...

Cheers

If you travel business all the time then you would get business ones

iirc, Gold travelling economy is supposed to get an orange priority tag
Platinum travelling economy on a domestic service is supposed to get a purple business tag if there is a business cabin and an orange priority tag on a one class service

I haven't noticed any difference between the orange and purple tags domestically

Particularly at MEL, both colours seem equally able to make your bag come out somewhere at the end

Depends on whether it is economy, business or first you are flying + whether it is domestic or international.

The higher of the two (sts vs class of flying) will be applicable:
For a SG I believe the following applies:
DOM - Y class: Priority Tags
DOM - D Class: Buss Tags
INT - Y Class: Priority Tags
INT - D Class: Buss Tags
INT - F Class: First Tags

More so than just following the "rules" it highly depends on who is behind the check-inn counter. Buss/Prio are often random; First Tags only when WP or flying F.

Still lots of non-tagged luggage on DOM/INT and both Prio and Buss Tags still come out first (in most cases )

Hmmm
Travelled CBR-SYD the other day as SG in economy and got Business tags.

QF priority luggage tags... is that smoke I see in the mirror?

I have noticed I am getting the business tags much more frequently in the past 3-4 months. (I'm SG).

If there is split check in for Qantas Club and Busines, SG can use business but PS and QC Bronze must use the QC.

Leads me to believe that SG probably should get business tags, but clearly it is a grey area.

going by this:

• Frequent Flyer - About the Program - Benefits & Privileges - Status Privileges

SG gets "priority baggage ##" and WP gets that plus First class baggage tags on international flights.

In practice, I have seen when travelling WHY, Business class tags as an SG and First Class tags as a WP. This for both domestic and international.

There is some thought that you won't get Gold/Yellow F tags if your flight does not have First Class.

## Valid only on Qantas-operated flights with a Qantas flight number.

From the info below, it seems Gold = Business tags.

Yet another example of the Qantas rules and benefits being so convoluted that no even they can be consistent. The gold benefits booklet says you get priority tags yet the above says business tags.

In my experience I get business tags on domestic (Y) flights.

It's difficult to expect the Qantas staff to get it right when the rules are different depending on where you look.
