My ideal would be for Medallions to use breezeway only if they missed boarding when their zone was called.

The way it's happening now, it often looks like a two-lane stampede with Zone 1 and elites in one lane, and everyone else in the other.

They should get rid of it. It just makes boarding more chaotic then it already is on full flights.
Agreed, agreed, and agreed.

To answer the question of which one to use, it depends on the GAs. It is a toss up--sometimes on the Breezeway side, the GAs there will hold up the other side, even when F/zone 1 is called for boarding. Other times, they want you on the side with the scanner.

Using a special lane may be great for CO, but DL uses zone boarding, which is more ordered. I find little use it, other than for showing up late at the gate in the situation that DLFan2 described.
