No priority boarding lanes at some ORD gates
Boarding one night this week at gate H8 was a cattle call reminiscent of the late 90's. After they called group one on a full 738, they called 2 through 9 rather quickly. To compound matters, there was no separate priority boarding lane. Looking around the immediate area, I noticed that H9 across the hall also lacked the separate lanes.
Not connecting through ORD too often, I'm wondering if this is the norm there?

I’ve never noticed a gate that does not have a priority lane at ORD. Just flew out of there tonight and they called group one and I swear about 30 people boarded in Group 1, many of whom I could see their blue mobile boarding passes indicating they are non-priority. Irks me every time.

Also I think that is the gate that Alaska uses part time so perhaps the agent never set them back up after the Alaska flight?
