Each person's selfishness is ultimately it's downfall in this mortal, fallen world run by imperfect bureaucrats?

Never understood, when boarding a plane

I bet it's to drive sales.

Yep, I bet that is it.

I made a comment one time how I can’t believe anyone would pay for priority

When you fly a lot, it is worth it to improve the experience in whatever way

Just bring a kid and board first every time

Or fake a limp.

What about people who are sitting next to each other? Like spouses or families? They can't board together?

I guess that makes sense

My rule---less than 1000 miles one way, I'm driving it

Boarding by seats like that separates families and groups. It'd be a nightmare

I have never understood why people want to be first on the plane and not last

Carry ons. It’s worse now with them charging for luggage.

immacougar

They will always let you check carryons at the gate for free

Iman23

4/15/18 8:26pm

Huh. My experience is if you check at the gate, you pickup at the carousel.

I was forced to check a carry-on and they lost it. Yeah, somehow it got lost

I believe Air Canada boards the back of the plane first then moves up tot he front.

Does everyone put their carry on in the first available overhead bin?

bluelands

4/15/18 8:39pm

Every time I’ve flown I’ve always had the overhead bin directly above me available

JohnnyComeLately

4/15/18 8:48pm

I've assumed that they board first class first so the first classers can enjoy

This is the best way to do things.

Mythbusters tested all methods

Southwest apparently studied every possible way of boarding

Jesse Pinkman

I feel like that would create a lot of problems. Almost like a Black Friday

Dynasty1

Can't really race to get a seat when everyone is marching single file down

bluesloth

They’ve been doing it for years, so seems to work.

Texas Hammer

The slightly staggered rows also help

bluelands

4/15/18 8:49pm

I love the way they do it. Other airlines are a madhouse

buffgato

4/15/18 9:20pm

Yes, this is a classic big consulting interview question, and Southwest is right

Hodor

Time for a reposting of my brilliant deboarding plan.

None of that may really matter.

mudpupper

4/15/18 9:10pm

Why would anybody want to board first? I always try to board last

archie

On a related note

TADOW

I read that random boarding was quickest.
