I was forced to check a carry-on and they lost it. Yeah, somehow it got lost
for a couple of days. They couldn't pry a carry-on from my cold lifeless fingers now.

Never understood, when boarding a plane

I bet it's to drive sales.

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

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

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.

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

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

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?

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

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

Southwest apparently studied every possible way of boarding

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

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

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

The slightly staggered rows also help

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

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

Time for a reposting of my brilliant deboarding plan.

None of that may really matter.

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

I read that random boarding was quickest.
