This is not musical chairs where one unlucky would be passenger will be denied a seat!! B. boarding first will get you to Chicago no sooner than the last person to board the plane. Everyone arrives together. GOT IT? I though so! Now take a seat and wait for your row to be called.

Originally Posted By Mr X Actually, sometimes it does hold up and slow down the boarding process, which COULD get you to your destination slower if that means a delay in pushing back from the gate (happens all the time). I understand why people want to get on fast though, the way everyone carries on too much luggage sometimes it's difficult to find any room in the overhead bins and you find yourself stuck with a suitcase jammed under you where your feet should go. The solution, of course, is to wait near the gate but NOT in the line until you are called. Then you'll still be one of the first people from your section to board the plane (naturally the jerks that cheated will have beaten you there, but then you'll know exactly who they are so you can shoot them dirty looks during the flight ).
