So are you saying F & J pax don't need it either? There is no real need for them to board early either with your argument, a pre flight drink is still more than servable with them boarding on mass, so why don't they stay in the even nicer confines of the lounge (like some do) if they don't want to get on the plane? And why are there so many moans about priority boarding (or lack of ) from premium pax on here?!
And since when has a seat in an airport departure lounge been more comfy than an airline seat?! (all jokes about the WT+ aside)
And, as I say, after being sat in a departure lounge for 2 hours, any change of scenery is welcome as much as anything. Many a time I've got the last flight out of BOS, having sat in Terminal E, begging to get onto the aeroplane.
