Is it an asshole move if I’m in group 1 for boarding and I have my travel companion (who is in group 5) board with me? We aren’t sitting together for what it’s worth.

No, you can generally bring them in with you with no issue - just say you’re traveling together. I do it fairly often with work colleagues.

The dick move is not trying to do this for your colleagues. Aka leaving them in the line while you make your way past everyone

Not on same ticket
Not sitting together
= not much of a companion

Nice to the colleague, dick move for everyone behind you that also doesn’t have status and presumably wants overhead space too

like

Usually fine but some gate agents might be sticklers. Not a dick move to try if it's only one companion.

like

Yeah it’s a colleague. Wanted them to board with me so they can have a better chance of overhead space. So apparently it is a dick move to try to look out for a colleague? 🤷‍♀️

@KPMG2 and now, because you forced the analyst to board in group 5, there is no longer room in the overheads for his carry-on. Now he/she has a checked bag, and you all have to wait for the carousel. Just let them board with you and save the hassle.

Just board group 5... why would the opposite be okay? Plane's not gonna leave without you. @M2 Yeah definitely a dick move to have your colleague (who has the same opportunity for priority boarding as any other person) board ahead of where they should be.

like

Sounds like some people prefer to be dicks to colleagues to avoid being dicks to strangers. Too many dicks in here

like

@M2 To say I'm being a dick to a colleague implies he is right to board before anyone else in the first place, which is is wrong.

like

If they are on your ticket I say bring them. But unlike M2 I say leave the colleague in line.

Dick move if not sitting together

I don’t think it’s a dick move. You’re traveling together to the same place. It’s fine. It’s just paperwork if they’re on the same ticket or not.

Thanks for the input all!

M2 is choking on dicks
