Personally I chalk it up to ‘sweat the big stuff’ and ignore the little things AKA get on the bus or ‘the right time is now’. I try to get to the gate for the start of boarding so at least I can stand where I want on the bus. If I don’t, though, I just suck it up and wait in line OR if the line is insanely large, I just take a seat until the queue has reduced. I do like to check though that I’m in the queue for the correct flight.

Just get on the plane, and then enjoy your pdb, IFE and extra space, knowing the boarding process is over & done.
