Boarding sequence question

Im flying a with a connection, PHX-IAH-JAX

On the PHX-IAH and IAH-PHX portion Im in first, but for the other two legs Im in a barbie jet.

Can I board with the first group when connecting to/from a first class seat?

Can a traveling companion board with me even though he is in coach?

Your BP should have elite access stamped on it, so yes u should be able to board the erj with the 1st call, also I believe your friend will be able to board with u, jus let the agents knw ur traveling together.

Seriously, there's no reason to try to board first. You want as little time in the ERJ as possible, and there's hardly any overhead space to fight over.

All the standard EliteAccess rules apply on regional flights, so there will be an EA call first, prior to the call by row number. As long as your BP says EliteAccess, you will be able to board with the first call. That said, I agree with the previous post - the only reason you'd want to board an RJ early is if you're in a window and the flight is full.

Yes I am booked into a window seat, and the plane shows full.

Hopefully the BP has elite access on it ( since I have first seats, it should) and we can board together.

Thanks for your knowledge!
