It looks like United Airlines is taking initiative to save its customers time. The airline announced a new boarding order that will help passengers get to their seats quicker and with less time spent waiting in line.
The new boarding order is designed to more efficiently fill planes and reduce time spent on the tarmac. Under the new order, first class passengers and premier members will board first, followed by economy plus customers, United premium plus members, and customers with special services. After those groups, families traveling with small children will board next, followed by all other economy class passengers.
United Airlines is the first major airline to implement such a system. Unlike other airlines, who use a group-based system of boarding, this new system will load planes in a more timely manner and should reduce wait times for all passengers.
The boarding process has been an issue for many passengers in the past, with many complaining that it takes too long or that it is not organized. This new system should help alleviate some of these issues, allowing for a smoother and easier boarding process.
United Airlines looks to be setting the standard for boarding efficiency, and it will be interesting to see if other airlines follow suit with similar systems. Until then, customers flying with United Airlines can look forward to a faster and more efficient boarding process.
