Zones are gone, Boarding by row starts 11 May
I just heard that UA will be adopting CO boarding procedures and lose the boarding by zones. An earlier thread talked about uniform military before GS/1K but also children under 4 before GS/1K!
I believe it starts on May 11.

I'm sure this will turn into another debate, that probably goes to OMNI, but I like the way that UA does boarding. So much for the "best of both worlds"

If all elites are going to be using the red carpet, imagine how bad the lines will be on some flights!
Try SFO-ORD with more than half of the aircraft having 2P or higher.

Or IAD-SFO. I was on a 320 once where the GA dispensed with zones altogether because way more than half the flight was 2P or higher.
