Why don’t they board planes back to front?

If this were actually true, there would be no one boarding after group 2 and you know that's not the case.

Not to mention the crazies that wouldn't check their bags even if it were free.

I get free bags. I still rarely check. I will carry on every single time.

Unless it's a very short trip, I always check bags whether it's free or not. I'm a terrible packer and bring too many clothes and I don't like lugging a suitcase through the airport.

You want 25, 22, and 19 boarding, giving them all enough room to get situated. Then 24, 21, 18 and so on. I’m not sure of the exact spacing but it was something like this.

Anyway, no airline does it. And as someone who checks bags, don’t even get me started on the time wasted by carryon luggage.

If airlines didn’t lose luggage frequently, carry ons would be less of an issue.

This is why flying private is so superior. It's just DH, our children and a couple staff. Boarding is a non issue.
