The people talking about fake pre-boarders because there condition isn’t visible are disgusting. I have a non-visible condition that I although I normally do board as normal, occasionally if I’m feeling ill, need food and/or medical supplies will not hesitate to board with the early group so I can make sure I’m medically ready to fly. If I were to have a medical emergency in flight from nit having the opportunity to take care of myself, its a risk that the whole plane will get turned around.
