> and I think boarding order might be better -- so I never have to climb over someone to get to my seat. This used to occur, and I first saw it on Lufthansa in the 1990s. Window seats in the back of the plane boarded first, aisle seats in the front boarded last. United adopted it (they were both part of the Star Alliance), but it didn't last; I'm guessing it was incompatible with the pre-boarding of high-mileage (= high revenue back then) fliers, esp those who wanted overhead space.
