AF Boarding priority/zone/process
I try to find information on the Air France boarding priority.
On Delta, the boarding is clearly explain (on the website).
I find only about Sky priority is boarding more early, but nothing more.
It is faster line than Sky priority ?

SkyPriority is divided in 2 zones: Zone 1 (Business) and Zone 2 (non-business SkyPriority eligible pax). Zone 1 obviously boards before Zone 2. This was a great move by AF because when everyone was lumped into a single SkyPriority line, on flights like JFK-CDG the single line was very long.
OT: Why is it so hard to understand that even though one could be SkyPriority there could be at least 50 passengers in front of you? It's a common occurrence at JFK that just before boarding, the SP line is very long and latecomers cannot believe that the line is very long and try to cut in front of the line. Last time this happened, I looked at a couple who tried to cut in front of me and asked them if they understood that there were at least 70 passengers in Affairs. They said they had Priority over the Priority line. I kindly told them that if they were Ultimate, they had my sympathy and could stand in front of me (They were clueless about Ultimate) and also if they were flying in First Class and decided to go to the gate by themselves, I also had sympathy for them (They didn't know there was a class above Business). So they ended up cutting in front of someone else.
