At the same time BA could do a lot to help the situation by being consistent in priority boarding procedures, and by keeping the priority line area clear until boarding groups are called.

A man after my own heart - I love this story so much that I am appointing you a a Mucci - and I do not shower these honours much outside BA Forum!
I'm on an Ipad at the moment so I cannot access it - but some years ago we had a female passenger do the "I'm in First" dance - it's in a TFTG and I'd quite forgotten it. This stampede to board an aircraft amazes me.

I shall await your formal naming of whichever Mucci you opt to bestow upon to me.

Fortunately it's something that's quite rarely used on this particular forum.

HKG is one of my monthly airports at the moment, and they have a separate line exclusively for F. I've used it once before when in CW but showed by GGL card and they were fine with it - although they blocked the chap who was a GCH behind me, and sent him to the regular snaking Priority Line queue.
I always thought F trumped Gold, as I've heard BA at LHR (T3) saying 'We're now boarding our First Class passengers. Only First Class please'.

@PUCCI GALORE, that is truly a most marvellous honour, and I accept with gladness!

I can assure you that I am not a 13 year old (Tobias-UK can vouch for this as he has sat next to me on a flight from SYD to SIN )

So from henceforth you shall be known as Mucci des Chevaliers des Bons Mots et Qui Savent Moucher.
Don't forget to add that to your handle!

My hairbrush has not been used for a while so I'm out of practice but if anything gets me "raunchy" I'll keep that to myself or I'll have Phil the Flyer out of his crypt and all over me like a rash.

My apologies for using a term which seems to have upset you both that you feel it is acceptable to resort to personal attacks. I did try to come up with another term that describes the passengers that hang around the boarding gate area in the hope of queue jumping. As you both seem experts on this subject and type of behaviour perhaps you could suggest a descriptive term that is not offensive to you?

The First pax was being obnoxious, that was the complaint. Not their right to board?
