[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend just flew United (she's using up her frequent flier miles) and she waited until the LAST second to board with her carseat and her 3 year old.  She took FOREVER.  She slowly got in with her husband and took about 10 minutes to install the seat.  She once she got her baby in, she then put her bag under the seat, she spent awhile getting her toddler in.

They came over to ask her to get seated....and she said "Oh!  Sorry!  I'm so used to preboarding that since I got on last, it's going to take me awhile"

She has three more flights and plans to do this each time and write a letter to United explaining why the flight was delayed (and how it was her fault).

I suggest each parent who flies United do the same.  [/quote]

Actually, as a parent of a toddler, I think getting on last (not the last second maybe, but definitely not in pre-boarding) is actually better. The less time my kid has to sit there on a non-moving plane, the better! Especially for crowded flights... you can sometimes be sitting there for upwards of 30 minutes if you get on first and wait for the entire plane to fill up and be ready for push off. That said, the other passengers on that flight might have connections or meetings they are trying to make. Not really fair to delay their flight and possibly alter their plans just to prove a point to a corporation. [/quote]
