That's not entirely correct. With some airlines, baggage handling is influenced by the ground-handling contractors they use at specific airports, including Bangkok. There isn't just one company moving every bag. For example, airlines such as Qatar Airways contract dedicated handlers and place considerable emphasis on speed. In practice, that often means Business Class baggage is prioritised, unloaded sooner, and reaches the carousel more quickly. Of course, someone will inevitably produce an anecdote about flying Business Class, waiting an eternity for their bags, and watching a member of the economy-class proletariat stroll off with their luggage before their Rimowa finally graced the carousel. But the broader point remains: with certain top-tier carriers that focus heavily on service and operational efficiency, premium baggage generally arrives ahead of economy baggage. Airline Business Class / First Class Fast Track - is not just about 'getting through a security check-point and Immigration' faster than everyone else. That said: The fast track services (whether legal or otherwise) operating solely to expedite you though Immigration upon arrival will have no impact on the speed of baggage arrival - but you'll save another 10mins not messing about going to a basement and waiting in a chaotic taxi queue.
