I never understood the concept of boarding from the front. I would never want to be the first on a plane; regardless of status. And this means that every single person passing them will bump, cough, shuffle, past those that boarded first.
I guess it's just that people would feel bad going *last*? Psychology is weird - but powerful.
- radicality 3y agoAt least for me, the main benefit of boarding early is still having carry-on space. Last thing I wanna do is to have to check any luggage and then wait forever to retrieve it later.
- londons_explore 3y agoOn european airlines, luggage rarely overflows the overhead bins because you have to pay to use the overhead bins (often nearly the same as the cost of your seat on short cheap flights). The only storage you can use for free is the space under the seat. That really changes the dynamics.
- dustincoates 3y agoI always board as soon as my group is called. It ensures that I have space next to me for my overhead luggage, and I can start settling in, sometimes going to sleep. Plus, I'm already uncomfortable at the airport, what's a little more discomfort on the plane?
