United Airlines Introduces New Boarding Process: Window Seats First, Aisle Seats Last

United Airlines is implementing a new boarding procedure for economy class passengers, starting on October 26. After the initial boarding groups, window seat passengers without frequent flyer status will board first, followed by those in middle seats, and aisle seat passengers will board last. The process, known as WILMA (window-middle-aisle), has been tested and proven to save up to two minutes of boarding time. This change may give an advantage to passengers who book window seats in terms of overhead bin space. The move is aimed at improving efficiency and reducing boarding time, which can result in significant cost savings for airlines.
