"United Airlines' Controversial Window-Seat Boarding Policy Sparks Passenger Outrage"

United Airlines has faced backlash from customers after implementing a new boarding policy that prioritizes passengers sitting in window seats. The system, known as WILMA, allows window seat passengers to board first, followed by those in middle and aisle seats. The airline claims that this change will save two minutes per flight. However, customers have expressed concerns about overhead bin space and voiced their displeasure on social media, with some calling for boycotts. United Airlines has not yet responded to the criticism.

United Airlines Implements New Boarding Process, Prioritizing Window Seat Passengers

United Airlines will implement a new boarding policy starting October 26, prioritizing economy class passengers with window seats, followed by those with middle seats, and then aisle seats. This change aims to reduce boarding times by up to two minutes. Pre-boarding groups and boarding groups one through three will remain unchanged. Group four will be for passengers with middle seats, and group five for those with aisle seats. The revised policy applies to U.S. domestic flights and select international destinations. United Airlines tested the new policy at five airports and found it to be faster.
