I actually agree with this...I took a flight through Amsterdam recently and was sort of shocked to see an entire planeload of passengers for a 787 line up in one line that ended up blocking half the walkway in the terminal. There's no point to this and just makes everyone's life more miserable for having to stand in a line for 20 minutes. At least with the zone boarding system you know you aren't getting on until your zone is called so there's no point to lining up 20 minutes ahead of time just to watch other people go in ahead of you.

why would you stand in queue for 20 minutes? I never understood it, I am usually one of the last people boarding the plane, heck I will be sitting there in small space for many hours usually so where is the rush to be there first if I have guaranteed booked seat with alloted space for my hand baggage, so where is the rush? never understood people standing in line immediately when they start boarding as if sitting in plane would be more pleasant than sitting in boarding area I would understand this only in first come first serve airlines without assigned seats, but I think nobody is doing this in Europe anymore, in US you stil do this?
