A pleasant surprise at my 'local' this morning. Group boarding has arrived at Aberdeen. Gate 5 has 3 tensa barrier lanes clearly marked Group 1, Group 2&3 and Group 4&5. On arriving at the gate a couple of minutes ahead of boarding it was noticeably clear of people. There was a pre-boarding announcement of the process and asking customers to check their Group number. Boarding then started with Group 1 called - about 8 or 9 of us headed down the lane. The guy immediately behind me was sent back as he was Group 3.
The whole 'experience' was vastly better (from a Group 1 perspective) than the previous melee that always occurred.
I would add a photo but it seems I don't have enough posts yet.
