As more people fly, planes get bigger, and then they start charging extra for checked luggage, so everyone has a carry-on suitcase. The process of boarding a plane has become slower and more complicated, which prompted airlines to develop new processes to make it faster, or at least more bearable. Strangely, no airline uses the most efficient methods. Or maybe that's not so strange, because if the process was efficient, people wouldn't pay extra to be in the first boarding group. Anyway, you can learn about five different boarding procedures and how well they work at Thrillist.

What needs to be done is making sure you can stow your carry on near your seat. All too often I board and find all overhead storage full and end up trying to find one way behind me. A hassle when deplaning. Don't ask me about people bringing pets with them.
