On Monday at TXL we were on a very full flight (our original flight had been cancelled and I only spotted one spare seat in ET).
The boarding call went as followed....
CE and Gold, Silver....don't know after that but I think most people before us were in CE....we were down the back on an HBO fare.
Proactive management of wheelies onboard - more than one person was instructed to put theirs in wheels first meant that there was very little faffing around.
We came off better in the seating department than the original flight, still row 23 but we had aisle/aisle rather than window/middle.
