Decoding the Nightmarish Boarding Process
✈️ Decoding the Nightmarish Boarding Process.
The boarding process for flights has become increasingly chaotic and inefficient, and this has largely been by design to encourage passengers to pay for priority boarding and other services. Airlines recognized that they could increase profits by charging fees for priority boarding and checked bags. This led to more passengers carrying bags to avoid fees and disrupted the efficiency of the boarding process. To further maximize revenue, airlines introduced different boarding zones and groups, creating more segments of passengers and slowing down boarding. Aircraft have also become larger and more densely packed, resulting in more congestion during boarding. While airlines have experimented with different boarding methods, none have proven to be optimal.
On a busy soundstage, the cast and crew are relying on a small blue ball to work its magic.
