The only thing I think is missing here boarding times for the different carriers. I was reading somewhere (I can't find the link) that southwest has the best method right now. I did find a link to another site that seems to have similar content but doesn't mention Southwests boarding style (because it isn't random it is based on least resistance boarding). http://menkes76.com/projects/boarding/boarding.htm http://menkes76.com/projects/boarding/boarding.htm
Edit: Note Dewey found the right article below.

- smackfu 12y agoI'd argue that boarding times are generally irrelevant, despite being annoying. If you walk up to the gate a minute before they close it, you'll walk right on. So waiting in that long line for slow boarding is essentially a choice. Except for Southwest, since they don't have assigned seats.
- dublinben 12y agoYou might not have room for a bag in the overhead compartments though, which can be a dealbreaker for some people.
