On: Physicist cuts plane boarding time in half

[joeyh]

I always board last. I'm going to be spending too many hours on the plane anyway, why would I want to spend yet another hour sitting motionless on the tarmac when I could be out where there's power and wifi and restrooms? So I book an aisle seat and ignore the zone calls and get in line near the very end.

Then I make up for being in some way possibly antisocial by helping someone with their luggage or something.

(As noted, I don't pay too much attention to it, but I do think they often board the tailies before the center on at least some airlines.)

The only problem with boarding last is that there may not be any space to store your baggage, and you'll have to check it.

You can always ask air hostess to store the luggage in their compartment. Did that number of times with Lufthansa.
