there is no incentive any more for them. used to be only the first 20 or so on were there, the ones after that paid, then it was based on when you checked in.

it is also a complain for families - you can board earlier if you have kids, but there's still no guarantee a family of 5 or 6 gets to clump together.

I'll be flying them in September. I've almost always been toward the end of the A group. I'll be curious to s if that has changed. -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 25, 06:50 1
