Random is most efficient. That's part of the reason why WN can do faster turns than any other domestic carrier.

Question about the new boarding.
Since we're all starting to return to flying globally, if I recall, OWEs board with F class and a carrier's top elites. Perhaps, not a big deal here in the States, but wouldn't this new boarding scheme cause some confusion with non-AS and/or no- US based OWEs? Moreover, if 75Ks are OWEs, shouldn't they board with the first group, as is customary with OW protocol?

AFK but.. I thought on AS that OWEs board in Group A.

With CX, OWE boards with their F & DMs (highest elite class). While it's been some time because of the pandemic, I'm pretty sure this had also been the case with JL & BA, though I could be wrong or thing may have changed post pandemic. But, with CX, that's definitely the case, and it's still the same several days ago from HKG.

Every time I fly BA, I'm in Group A. Many times I am the first one on the plane since we don't have F (who board first) on many flights these days.

PRImate, of course! :cool:

As it previously displayed First Class, theres clearly space to display Priority. I wonder what the thought process was behind this design decision.
Why use many word when few will do? #TheOffice

DL says SKY PRI😁

It is hard to hear announcements at times, so PRI/100K can sound like Group A, depending on ambient noise and hearing correctly. I held back to make sure yesterday in SEA. The screen did not have a boarding display, which I count on.

Really strange that they've updated the screens and BPs without any word on what "Group F" is on the website or even telling their staff what it means (I asked the other day, they had no clue).

Per the JL website, OWE boards with F. (Though I could swear when I flew JL pre-pandemic, OWE boarded with J, not F.)

I love it when they have the screens that show which group is boarding. I'm often in the lounge prior and head to the gate as boarding starts and sometimes have to ask someone which group has been called. Esp in louder airports when you can't hear the announcements clearly.

Its only one DP, but on a recent flight when Priority was announced, many ineligible pax swarmed the gate to board and the GA didnt enforce boarding groups.

On my first flight with the new system I think it was, some non-PRI in the PRI line was turned away. A hooded youngster avoiding eye contact confirming the stereotype. He didn't bother to move farther away from the agent than a couple of steps while waiting.

works fine even though I try to board after group "F as in Fabulous"
