Currently standing in terminal and the question arises, wouldn’t it make sense to load the back first? It seems inefficient to me waiting for everyone in the rows ahead to get seated when we could do it the other way around. I’m sure there’s a reason, but am genuinely curious. Thoughts?

OK. This information I’m about to share with all my fellow Americans, and yall Europeans maybe, is gonna blow your mind…. I have had opinions gripes, and suggestions to the ether about loading passengers on planes for all my adult life. I fly 10-20 times a year, and I am always dismayed with the state of airplane boarding. I thought I knew it all, and I was convinced there was no better way to do it than the one the airlines weren’t listening to me about….. and then…. I flew to s.e. asia.
Holey shit these guys have the real deal on fastest boarding ever…. and it’s a result of tiny airports.
Because of the growth of passengership(my word, I like it), without the growth of airports, most flights are not loaded or unloaded with those silly jet ways. They don’t have groups a b c or 1 2 3, they don’t even always let first class go first…. they have 2 or 3 agents checking tickets, you go out the door, and you get on one of 2 or 3 busses. When the bus is full, you drive over to your plane, and you get on the plane through EITHER of the doors, front or back, depending on where your seats are. Even with the bus trip, the whole airplane gets loaded in about 15 minutes. From first ticket checked, to plane doors closed…. 20 minutes tops. Every time. It’s fucking amazing.
