I always assumed the bottleneck was readying the plane so it doesn’t really matter how quickly you board. And people would prefer to not sit on the plane waiting around. I have no idea if this is true.
- Symbiote 3y agoEuropean budget airline staff get rather annoyed if people are messing about and slowing down boarding. There's only minimal cleaning during the day. Mostly just collecting litter and putting magazines etc back in their place. Ryanair planes don't even have a seat pocket; the safety card is a large sticker on the back of the seat in front. After an inbound flight, boarding can start just a few minutes later.

- xmprt 3y agoThere are some things that you can only do once everyone has boarded and skipping steps in the checklist is a recipe for disaster.
