On the way back from NRT, as usual the priority line was very long, saw 2 guys were escorting to the front to form a separate line, and asked the agent any priority for DM, and the agent escorted me to the separate line behind the 2 guys as well.
ah, is that how it's done at NRT? The boarding line at NRT is abysmal, one of the worst I've seen at any CX port...especially if you get 773. I was probably #100 to board, as a DM in J class a few weeks ago.

I normally don't care, but I left the lounge too early and the flight had an additional delay at the gate. Everyone was standing around there all tense, and the line fully formed 20+ minutes before boarding commenced due to the secondary delay. Originally I was thinking I'll just wait it out, let all the elites go first and then I'll join the J queue at the end. But it kept growing, and growing, and growing....until the whole area was packed with people tensely standing in line, or sitting on the seats / floor. Not pleasant. It was only security people checking passports / BPs in line, and as such nobody got pulled out and taken to the front.
