ELI5.Why are airplanes boarded front to back?

1.17K viewsOther

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?

Probably the biggest detriment to expedient boarding is not the process, but the people. People in airports/airplanes become complete idiots the second they step foot into an airport. They have no situational awareness or courtesy, and forget that that there are other people.
