Business travellers with status get priority boarding - why do you go stand in line way before boarding? You don’t need to worry about cabin space, what are you trying to prove? 🤔

Because on my flights, everyone and their grandparents have status so priority boarding is moot at that point

I fly out of ORD - half of the city is a business traveler with status on Monday morning. Everyone has priority boarding, and I'm not checking my bag or putting it 20 seats behind me.

If it’s the forward closet, I think that’s a good thing

I’m often on small regional jets (4 rows of first, 2-1 style) that can only hold a handful of roller bags, on one side, and most are gate checked. I intentionally bought a bag that would fit on these planes sizewise as I’ve been burned in the past by gate checking - so I make sure I’m one of the first people to board to get one of the four roller bag spots in first class.

On Air Canada there are 6 zones.
Zone 1 is First/Business class (and Million milers I think)
Zone 2 Status
Zone 3 and up general boarding.

I see people in First Class lining up 20 mins before boarding starts 🤯 you can just sit around the gate and walk to the line when priority boarding starts...

I’m in Zone 2 and I always leave the lounge to get to the gate after 5 minutes from boarding start.

Gate lice is the proper term

So i can nap as long as humanly possible
