ELI5.Why are airplanes boarded front to back?

1.13K 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?

every plane ive been on has got doors at both front and back, and if your seat is in the front half of the plane, you go in the front door, if your seat is in the back half of the plane you board in the back door.

simple.
