I continue claiming that the real issue that has made boarding slower is all that luggage that people bring on board nowadays. Not so much the change in priority.

In the past you had two zones, priority and non-priority. Adding zone 1 is an insignificant change. Dividing the other zones should not make that big of a difference, comparing with the luggage issue.

Anyway, there are now so many people in zone 2 that a separate zone 1 clearly is here to stay.

And since they sell "priority" to CC holders, latitude, etc., so is zone 2.
Fair points, Actually.
