The seats are assigned. People have been standing in line for 15 minutes now. Why on earth would anyone want to stand there, when they could just sit and wait until the line clears?

I understand wanting to get off a plane ASAP, but boarding? You just end up sitting on the plane, waiting for everyone else to get on.

I saw in a flight that the airline mistakenly sold the same seat twice, two persons were fighting for the same seat, and when the stewardess came to review, she saw the error, the flight was oversold and the second man needed to leave the plane.

I do it to give the people still sitting something to tut over.

Depends on what airline you're taking, Southwest doesn't assign seats

Not all airlines assign seats. I know Southwest doesn't, you just find an empty seat once you board. In that case it makes sense to stand in line.

[โ€“] Zak@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Southwest assigns you a position in line. You can pay for a better one. Their passengers don't spend a lot of time waiting in ad-hoc lines before their group is called like other airlines.

But your position in line is assigned. When they ask the A group to line up and the Bs start hovering they're not accomplishing anything.
