Another tactic of the gate lice
 
We're boarding, zone 2. A zone 4 comes along and the GA tells her she's going to have to wait over there. She takes a step in that direction while the GA goes to the next passenger--then the 4 turns around and walks down the jetway.

Did that person have their BP scanned? I do see people roll the dice trying to board in an earlier zone and get denied. They then step just off to the side and jump right in front when their proper zone is called so they can be first. Never witnessed anyway just sneaking past.

That's going to be awkward when the F/A counts the manifest, and then has to figure out who the stowaway is.

I didn't see if the pass was scanned or not.

Or when the pax finds their return flight has been canceled, since there's no record of them flying the outbound.

Then we get to see them rant on the [airline name here] facebook wall about how [airline name here] is the worst airline ever for cancelling their return flight for no reason.
