    It’s a frivolous luxury that costs like $20 extra per ticket. For most people that’s just personal preference.

      For twenty bucks you might be moving yourself from group 7 to group 5 - it costs hundreds or thousands to reach group 1.

        Do you mean flying first class? Because that’s different than priority boarding. They are in a different section of the plane, and the people there are paying for a lot more things than boarding.

          Yea, that’s my point - you’re paying 20 bucks to be the most special of the pleblians… you’re not even shifting significantly in the boarding process - you’re just paying money to be the person who stood up near the gate first.

          And the fact that some people are willing to pay is why we have eight boarding groups now.

            Okay but it’s 20 bucks. The person paying it is probably a relatively regular person attempting to feel special. A rich person is just buying a first class ticket without a second thought, and then arriving at the last possible second to board after chilling at the airport lounge. A really rich person isn’t flying commercial.
