ELI5.Why are airplanes boarded front to back?

1.14K 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?

They often do load economy class back to front. But the very front of the plane is typically business class, and they pay more for the privilege of boarding first and disembarking first.
