A List boarding order
My wife and I both recently renewed our A List status for next year. She is A List preferred, I'm just A List. We have both noticed an almost immediate and significant improvement in both our boarding positions. That goes against conventional wisdom that there are more A listers toward the end of the year. It may be there are fewer A List passengers flying compared to the number of occasional flyers but the total number of passengers hasn't increased very much. We generally buy the cheapest tickets availible, so ticket price is unlikely a factor.
Just thought I'd put this out there for consideration.
