Sorry, but did you expect tame responses when the first hostile post in the thread was the OP?
Put yourself in my shoes for a moment. You arrive at the airport early in the morning about to start a 30 hours journey (20 hours flights + 10 hours connections) and all you want is to check in your bag the EXACT same way you did on a previous trip with the EXACT same itinerary and you get a "no can do" answer. After you insist that it's possible because you did it before, you still face the same outcome.
Your first flight (out of 4 today) is about to board, you really can't miss it and your problem is still not solved.
Then you loose you patience and demand to speak to a higher authority. You are left stranded at the counter for about 10 long minutes while your flight is really about to board now and you don't know what to do. Then, in the last minute the problem is "magically" solved and although you are proved to be right all the way, you don't get any apology from anyone for the stress you had to go through so early in the morning. Stress that could be easily avoided by listening to the passenger and taking his request seriously from the start instead of arguing that it can't be done.
How would you react in this case?
I'm happy to get another point of view.
