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?

airplanes are typically not boarded front to back.

the only exception are business and first class which are typically boarding first but except for this its either random or airlines have boarding groups which are usually back to front.

the problem is nobody gives a crap about boarding groups so it usually ends up being random anyways.
