United clamping down on gate lice in ORD and FINALLY boarding window first
Poast new message in this thread
Date: May 1st, 2018 3:20 PM Author: aqua public bath jew United® will be introducing a new boarding method at select gates at Chicago O’Hare International Airport. Our customers have told us they want a better experience when boarding, so we’re working to improve the process.
Here are some of the changes you may see if your gate is testing a new process:
■ No need to line up before your group is called: Simplified lanes with new signs will allow you to relax at the gate or within the airport longer.
■ More efficient boarding: Following priority boarding groups, we’ll board customers sitting in window seats first and then middle and aisle seats.
■ Less crowding: Fewer lines will create more space and easier access to the boarding door for customers exiting the plane from the previous flight and during pre-boarding.
■ Improved digital displays: Monitors around the gate will display clear and relevant information about boarding and your flight. |

Date: May 1st, 2018 3:28 PM Author: aqua public bath jew Usually, United puts its five groups of passengers in five parallel lines, and people can queue up as early as they like. Now, it will use just two lines for all five groups. Group one will go in one, group two in the other. Once they’re all safely lodged in the plane, the gate agents will have the next three groups line up, one at a time, in the second lane. Any latecomers in the already called groups can use the first lane. As before, those groups will divide passengers not by row, but by seat type: window people go first, then middle and aisle folks. And as always, everybody with any sort of priority status will go first. The goal is to keep everyone moving, letting people near the end of the line stay seated for longer, and minimize crowding around the gate that makes everything more of a pain. To summarize: It's still five groups, but instead of five lines, you get two. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3965412&forum_id=2#35960271) |

Date: May 2nd, 2018 1:35 PM Author: Soul-stirring Orchid Kitchen The airlines seem to get more inept every year. I fly southwest 90% of the time and I was blown away recently when it flew delta (or was it United?) and had to wait as they called each of about 20 “priority” classes. “Now for our STAR DIAMOND PREFERRED passengers, etc., etc.” People were standing around saying to each other, “oh yes I am so happy that I just became DIAMOND PREFERRED.” Really just a macabre spectacle to see the people who actually get self worth from some fake prestige the GC airline gives them that allows them to board into their shitty coach seat 2 minutes before someone else.
