Lifetime plat on as and a list plus on swa
southwest's process is so much less stressful for me, I line up next to my mark and then walk on. It's orderly
American has a crush of a crowd trying to figure out when to board and I have to fight through the gate lice get on. And I want to be on early to make sure there is overhead space. If all I have is a backpack, then I agree wth another poster that I can wait to be the last on and relax. But not true if i need overhead space. The new boarding groups on aa helps, but they still need a board to show what groups are boarding at what time.
family board generally means I'm in row. 15 or so and can get 3 across easily.
Most of my travel is point to point
