ELI5.Why are airplanes boarded front to back?

1.12K 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?

And it would be even more efficient to board back to front all window seats, then middle, then aisle. But for reasons already stated and the simple fact a lot of people are just dumb and/or assholes who couldn’t or wouldn’t understand this ruins it for everyone..
