Shannon....

On my rather frequent SYD->USA flights
This means that Group 1 == 100 people and Group 2 == 100 people
so you packing half the plane in just the first 2 groups
I can see this working 1000x better on a RJ where 7 groups made no sense

Would you please please please consider doing aircraft based groups?
747/777 = 7 groups
767/787/757-3 = 6 groups
757-2/737/A3xx = 5 groups
Regional 70+ = 4 groups
Regional 50 or under = 3 groups

I can totaly understand the desire to standardise on something...
but trying to have the same policy for a 747-400 and a EB120 DONT WORK


Also... to confirm.... "remium Bypass Lanes"
means that a 1k can walk up anytime after group 1 is called and walk over to a seperate lane and bypass anyone in groups 3-5?
