The Evolution of Air Travel: From Convenience to Chaos

Originally Published 2 years ago — by CNN

Boarding a plane has become a chaotic and inefficient process due to various factors. Airlines have introduced complexity and confusion to encourage passengers to pay for priority boarding, resulting in crowded gate queues and out-of-turn line-ups. The introduction of bag fees led to more carry-on bags, further slowing down the process. Larger planes and increased passenger load factors have also contributed to the boarding nightmare. Despite attempts to find optimal boarding methods, no solution has been widely implemented. Southwest Airlines' open seating model offers the fastest boarding process, but most airlines prioritize revenue from seat assignments.
