United Airlines recently changed its boarding process in an attempt to save two minutes per plane on the ground.
A plane on the ground is not making money for the airline.
The more you pay, the sooner you can get on the plane and the less likely you will have to check a bag, which would result in more waiting at the other end of the flight.
But as one who has been in Group Six and faced the glare of others while walking to her seat at the back of the plane, she can only hope this change will be good for passengers too.
It’s not just airlines, it’s also museums, online purchases and amusement parks where VIP status can help you avoid lines.
When did the act of waiting get such a bad rap? (Maggie Mulqueen, Psychologist)
