DID YOU KNOW….That your choice of airline can make a difference as to how often your flights are on time?
Think about it, and notice the next time you fly how the airline that you fly boards passengers for their flights.
It makes a difference! If your airline still books the traditional way, filling the front seats before the back, you end up with the inevitable traffic jam in the aisles as the first passengers to board the plane take valuable time to get settled and place their luggage overhead. The result: your flight departure is delayed, and any connections you have booked are shortened. Throw in a short wait on the tarmac or a little bad weather, and you may miss your connecting flight or business appointment.
Our Recommendation:
-Choose an airline that boards from the back of the plane to the front
-Choose an airline with a flexible boarding policy (Southeast is an example of an airline that does not assign seats, and boards by zones. This flexibility encourages faster seating and on-time take-offs.
In addition, choose your seat online and print your boarding pass ahead of time. These will save you time and help you board faster, together with a good airline boarding policy.
