Why do the airlines HAVE to give a pre-board a blue sleeve, without proof, yet you cannot park in a handicapped parking space without a doctor issue handicapped placard. REDICULOUS!!!!! A lot of these folks simply buy the cheapest "wanna get away" fares, then don't like their "C" seating assignment and then get moved ahead of those of us that pay the extra $$$$$ for business select seating. How is this fair??????
Why becase you have more money than me you have to be on plane before me? I never preboard. I never seat in exit row or isle seat unlees told by flfight atendent. I ussaly do not seat in front of plane also.
Next time i am flying whith my wife and sister in law. My wife broke her leg this winter. She had surgery on her leg and still have bolts not removed. Shold i ask to preboard? I Jenny find out we boarding 1st becase of her leg she will kill me before we land.
But i realy hate standing and waiting why pepole who get onboard 1st stop in front of plane store their bag take sweet time to take a seat. before numbered boarding i used to seat on flor by gate and be 1st one in A- group. i get on plane tell flight atendent general boarding started ask for extention belt. i be in seat 26A whith my brifcase and laptop stored before next person clear isle in front of plane.
