I couldn't agree more. The faffing and fussing some "busy" self-important passengers place on not checking their bag in so they can save an extra few minutes in their (probably poorly managed) schedule is bewildering at times. Always happy to check my wheelie bag in, invariably it is already waiting on the belt by the time I get there and if not, I use the time to listen and respond to voicemail or maybe call my Girlfriend or daughter for a quick chat.
Far more relaxing to stay extra time in the lounge and be able to board LAST and stress free rather than early and standing in a queue at the gate and have to sit in a cramped metal tube for an extra 20 minutes?
It is truly baffling
Yeah I'm sure that works great for you. Some of us have different concerns to do with the risk of lost luggage messing up an already tight schedule on a short trip. But if one thinks I could minimize this by "better managing my schedule" I guess I'll give that a try instead of wondering why BA don't do a better job providing a published priority boarding benefit.
