    Wtf is the point of that? Its the same plane, isn’t leaving any time sooner if I board earlier.

    Its not like a cruise ship where boarding an hour earlier means I can jump in pool while others are still getting on board.

      People don’t seem to know how to use the overhead bins or take too many carryons. I’ve had to rearrange people’s suitcases for them, or put mine several seats away, or have the flight attendant take mine. It’s really annoying.

      There’s also impatience. The later I board the more likely I am to be standing there a long time behind people futzing around taking their time to get situated regardless of how many of us are waiting.

        Or your bag will go into the overhead, and you’ll be the first off the plane, especially when you have a tight connection. That 1A is getting to your next flight. That 38F is f’ed.

          That sounds like a problem with the system, it sounds as if the entire reason for all of it is to milk as much as they can.

          If you have a connecting flight you should get priority deboarding for free.

          Also using the 1A may get you on a list /s

      Because the overhead bins are full by the time the plane is half boarded? That’s all I got.
