My mother has heart failure. She can walk from the gate to her seat but not from checkin to lounge to the gate. She also would be unable to 'wait and stand in line' with other passengers for boarding. I will explain to her that she is not genuinely disabled and should stop taking advantage of her minor problem.
PS They always ask if you want to walk the last part yourself. For some people it is also a matter of pride...

Back on topic though - coming back from BUD they did a simultaneous boarding for the CE/BAEC g/s/b passengers and the ET passengers in the back rows and it was all a bit chaotic. I'd gone CE with my parents as a treat for them and they remarked how some of the early boarding ET passengers were putting their luggage in the CE bins without any pushback from cabin crew. Ultimately, there's a case for saying that's all first world problems but if you're paying for CE and one of the explicit benefits is priority boarding, then it does make a mockery of it.

What is a "massed rabble". I would have thought a rabble would by definition have to already be a mass of people.
Surely multiple rabbles would not fit on a A321?

As we don't travel in F, like luxury hotels or Michelin star restaurants and the wife slaps me if she sees me aiming my camera at females my reports tend to be a bit boring I'm afraid.

Females tend to be more interesting.
PS: Where did you find that cottage by the way, if you don't mind me asking. I want it too ! ^
