The boarding process issue was actually out of Dubai- the problem here was that they called the First Class/Business Class cabins literally half way through boarding coach when there was a long line in place to board based on the rows that they had already called. But they never explained that the 1st/Bus should come to the front of the line, so we all (whole plane of passengers) just stood around while the flight attendants were mystified as to why no one was boarding first/business class. Finally, after discussing among themselves for awhile, they made a secondary announcement for them to come forward and it worked it self out. Not a big deal at all in the scheme of the flight, just felt disorganized compared with most other flights I've taken. Unclear as to why they would call so many people up to board and create such a long line, if it was just to stand around and wait for the 1st/Bus class to board. Again, really not a big deal at all (don't want to whine about small details, it was a total 15 min delay)- just wanted to clarify the claim in the post.
