But now as a "special needs" person, I'm now frustrated by the blur between pre-board and F. On CO and elsewhere, I'll be taking my time down the jetway only to see a herd of anxious passengers trying to storm by me.
Gate agents see just how many identified special needs passengers, F passengers, and elite passengers there are booked on a flight. I wish they'd space the timing apart in their boarding announcements to deal with the volume of such passengers accordingly.
I could not agree with you more!!!! It seems to vary with the gate agents and airports but even being F and "Special needs" and put on first, I feel completely rushed when I see the mass coming down the gang plank.
