Why shouldnt my family board with me, I *am* Elite now, you know
. The fact still remains, when I fly AA/CX/QF/BA my family boards with me. That includes me, wife, 4 year old and 2 year old.
Not only do they board with you, they get to check in at the premium line with you, and they (generally) get to sit in preferred seating with you.
WN should allow A-Listers and their travel companions to board together. No question about it.
