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?

Premium cabins board first because it’s a benefit for paying more money or having loyalty status. That way they never need to gatecheck a bag and aren’t waiting in the long line down the jetbridge. But then once we get to economy, boarding is usually done back to front, even though that’s actually not the most efficient way to do it. Outside-in is better, but that means you have to split up groups and families, which people don’t like. And totally random is actually a little bit faster than back to front, but then you’d have everyone trying to get on at once.
