airline boarding suggestions

homeplaceofthefuture daily log 4955

Thinking back about my world tour the past few weeks and the fun things I pick up at airports. Let’s talk about the boarding process. Here’s my thoughts & suggestions...….
 

1. Every airline should use the same terminology for boarding.
2. Why is Group 2 good for American, but Group 2 is basically the everyone else class for Delta?
3. What qualifies as “anyone needing more time?” That could be ANYONE! I need more time; my batteries are dead in my noise cancelling headphones and I need time to get those babies up and running before someone tries to talk to me.
4. Who are these walk-in flyers and why are they always ahead of me (even with my status)? I don’t get it.

There is one category and I agree with and it’s the Families Traveling with Young Children class. We can all agree they should go first and not for their benefit, but for ours. If I walk into a plane and see a kid behind me with a shoe that looks ready to kick the seat – I am going to request a new seat.
 
More on this later – I had to vent. Okay I feel better, back to creating PowerPoint slides to save the world.
