Topic for next time: What took them so long to think of pay on board meals?</font>
Yes, we've had pay-on-board refreshments for years in Europe, ever since the low-cost airlines got going over here. But you're right, it really belongs in its own topic. Feel free to start it.
Back on the original topic, I am always able to duck into my seat row, and take my coat off and put things up in the rack standing there while the others walk past. And I can do the reverse getting items out at the end if I can't get out from my window seat until the queue starts to move. I think those not doing this is the real delay in boarding.
Oh, and welcome to Flyertalk !
