Why stand in line to board an airplane? (lemmy.world)

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.

Yep.

Used to fly all the time for work.

After that, flying with my wife and kids, or standing in TSA line with the normies who don't know what to do gets incredibly frustrating.

I remember getting stuck behind one Karen who was pissed off she had to toss out a giant bottle of hair conditioner, in like 2017. Like, lady, yeah, it's dumb, but the 311 rule isn't new. Get over yourself.
