People are already clueless about how to properly cue and board a plane. As a frequent flyer it is beyond irritating. Families or friends at the gate would just make things even worse.
Plus, letting them in without a boarding pass is just a way to add insecurity variables to the airport experience for no reason but the movie-like romantic idea of airport goodbyes.
- whatshisface 8y agoDirect experience from when they were able to come to the gates overrides any speculation about what they "would" do. It's simply not a problem.
- SmellyGeekBoy 8y agoSurely they all need to come through the security screening, though? So suddenly the (already far too long) lines are 2-4x longer. Just say your goodbyes before security, it's really not as issue.
- camillomiller 8y agoIt’s a weird custom that I’ve seen only in American movies and that was ever probably true only for American airports. It’s not an issue indeed and I think Americans are as usual a bit myopic in pretending that a cultural experience is globally recognized. Feel free to downvote this (true) generalization.
