21 First-Class Flight Perks You Can Get Flying Economy Plus

13. Priority Baggage Handling: Quicker Exit

Beyond just allowing more luggage (#10), your bags might also get priority treatment upon arrival. Many Premium Economy fares include priority baggage tags (similar to those used for Business/First Class). This means your checked luggage should theoretically be among the first bags unloaded onto the carousel at your destination. While not always flawless in execution, this perk can save valuable time and stress, allowing for a much speedier exit from the airport – a definite premium advantage.
