Rare FlyerTalker Posted August 11, 2009 #26 Share Posted August 11, 2009 (I never understand this obssession with being at the gate hours before the flight.) Why, it's so you won't miss the announcement that your gate has been changed.:D The only reason I arrive at a gate early is if I am trying for a DBC and want to be the first in line to volunteer. Otherwise, I try to time it so that I stride up to the boarding pass scanner just as they are announcing first/elite boarding. (Mrs. FT prefers slightly sooner, so she doesn't risk get caught in a queue inside the jetway). And, of course, the difference between first class boarding in Europe/Asia and the USA -- "over there" the F cabin boards last, not first. More time in the lounge and less sitting around in the aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although decent airlines will let you board whenever if you have the shiny boarding passes ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
