In my opinion the good boarding process would be:
1. Wchr and babies
2. Rows 25-35 or beyond
3. Rows 15- 25
3. Eco up to 15
4. Hon, Sen (normally seated between 5 and 10
5. Business
Wrong! HON/SEN are normally seated in rows 1-2.
Actually the current (at least preCovid) rapid boarding policy is also very efficient:
1.Window seats
2.Middle seats
3.Aisle seats
HON/SEN with Business class have pre boarding.
HON on several stations pre-pre-boarding.
(that is not usually case in FRA, but during my last intra-EU flight from FRA boarding they hold normal boardimg until car bought me to gate-position aircraft and I was on my 1A. Only then they told that Hon is on board, lets start boarding. Nice.)
