How about a 'bot' that can follow an itinerary (ex: TripCase) and tie in with two other sources: 1) Weather feeds, 2) Airplane routing. The bot will notify (or help manage) the traveler's schedule by alerting potential weather issues outside the normal scope of the individual traveler. As in, the plane the flight is booked to use got held up by weather in Seattle and won't make it to Houston for the intended trip of Houston to Miami. This way re-booking could be considered before 'the rush' in theory. Also, considering the loading/unloading issues, why not hand out little light up buzzers like at restaurants? Call people in waves, certain sections of the plane, just do it more efficiently. Considering how, ahem optimized cabin layouts are to smushing people in with very little legroom, then being strategic about loading makes sense. Tickets and lines are kind of old hat, even scanning a phone. Just scan a phone / ticket, a buzzer comes out a dispenser, go mosey around, find a seat, whatever. Note: Expect 1-2% loss of buzzers due to people dropping them in toilets or something.
