Good catch! I see they still have the paper directional signs up, at least for Zone 2.
The last time I was there, they walked through the line and let the J pax go first, before the rest of the Zone 1s. Could be a one off though.

Booked some class X tickets for some family members. What zone will they find themselves in? I am not traveling with them.

Zone 3 should still be given for preferred seat purchases or sitting at the back of the plane. Or zone 4 for the middle of Y. Anything else is incorrect and a nice bonus if it occurs.

My family have got zone 4/5 with X. I have Zone 1 on paid ticket. I have also traveled on points for all of us and I have Zone 1 while the rest had zone 5.

When I've checked in at the same time (OLCI, ensure everyone's name is checked before proceeding), we all get zone 1.
If an agent checks us in, or we do OLCI separately, it's left to each passenger's status.

How do you guys deal with people massing around the gate? I'm often boarding in Zone 3 but you have people from Zone 4 & 5 lined up together. I don't want to wait in line so I try to wait until the end of the Zone 3 boarding and get in front of the Zone 4 people but I can never tell where the separation is.
