Americans should get with the program and organize themselves into queues in a more efficient and cooperative manner.

If you make everyone "elite", nobody is elite anymore.

, it's a bad policy to have half the plane boarding through SP lane.

My thought EXACTLY -- lets just switch to WNA! :)

Thanks I guess

Please be nice. FOs are still elites.

On this it has gotten ridiculous with all of the zones. As long as they let me on the plane we will all get there at the same time.

There's something here that's legitimately confusing in that FO and DL AmEx is priority boarding but not SkyPriority, yet they board in zone 1 through the SkyPriority lane.
Maybe DL should change the boarding process and make zone 1 board through the regular lane, but then FOs and DL AmEx cardholders would complain that they want more special treatment. This would avoid the OP's problem of being in FC but having to wait in a long line to board. Depending on how desperate I felt about bin space, I would have been tempted to hold back and board through the SkyPriority side later in the boarding process once I missed zone SKY and saw the huge line. Or the OP could have feigned a bit of stupidity and approached the podium through the kettle side to politely ask the GA whether FC was boarding yet, which might have resulted in an invitation to cut the line. YMMV. |

When in HKG recently, I just laughed at the UA flight with all of the different boarding zones. It seems like the US carriers give about 80% of the plane priority boarding. (Also, watched the US version of Airline which followed WN, and it seems like about everybody has their own zone over there)

... I explained that I'm in F, and the GA told me that I missed my chance to board early, and need to go to the back of the line behind all the Zone 1. We got into a bit of a shouting match as she said Zone 1 is entitled to use the SkyPriority lane. And the kettles glared at me as I boarded.:(
