Blue Extra boarding zone?

Published benefit of "early boarding" but can't find any evidence of what that means in practice. If not Group A, what is the "benefit"?

My boarding pass says Group D 😢

Update: agent confirmed Extra fare should be Group A, printing out a revised boarding pass showing that. 👍

I just flew with a Blue Extra ticket and my Group was also D. I thought that didn't sound right and the agent let me board when I asked. They were boarding group B at that time. First she told me that Blue Extra WAS group D I didn't think that sounded right

I believe the gate agent included "Extra fare" in her Group A announcement in my case.
