It makes you realize that there is a huge bell shaped distribution of intelligence and it's all on display there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-are-people-awful-at-boarding-flights#post-470190 Sat, 29 Dec 2012 19:25:40 +0000 sunny 470190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just went on a flight where they required everyone with roller boards to gate check them (it was a TINY regional jet and the bins were undersized). Boarding was a breeze because nobody was rushing to get on the plane first to grab the overhead bin space! Ahhh... it was like the good ole days :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-are-people-awful-at-boarding-flights#post-439237 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 15:21:30 +0000 littlek 439237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lindsay05: arghhh carry ons.. Don't even get me started on that </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-are-people-awful-at-boarding-flights#post-439118 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 12:15:13 +0000 Freckles 439118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Arghh, it gets on my nerves when as SOON as they call the rows for general boarding EVERYONE makes a mad dash and starts lining up! I also think the flight attendants need to do a better job of monitoring the carry-on luggage sizes people bring on board. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-are-people-awful-at-boarding-flights#post-439110 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 12:05:07 +0000 Mrs. Fix 439110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @bree72. I think the majority are just nervous people. My dad for example flies a couple times a year to visit my brother and every time acts like its the first time. However, I also agree with the just wait for your section to be called and don't crowd the carousel! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-are-people-awful-at-boarding-flights#post-439104 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 11:58:20 +0000 BananaPancakes 439104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just think a lot of people don't actually fly all that often. And if you don't, it can be very nerve wracking. I don't think most people are really that stupid, just not experienced. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-are-people-awful-at-boarding-flights#post-439056 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 11:25:07 +0000 lemong 439056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally agree. Also when people crowd the baggage carousel. Don't go up there until you see your suitcase!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-are-people-awful-at-boarding-flights#post-439051 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 11:20:20 +0000 Lindsay05 439051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. And I cannot stand when people pack their oversize carry ons and take forever holding up everyone else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-are-people-awful-at-boarding-flights#post-439048 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 11:19:34 +0000 loveisstrange 439048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's because people are rude and stupid. I hate when everyone bum rushes the desk when they call boarding, even when it's not their zone.</p> <p>I will say that I just flew from Heathrow to St Louis with my 8 month old and people were very polite and helpful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-are-people-awful-at-boarding-flights#post-439047 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 11:18:23 +0000 Foodnerd81 439047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It must be rocket science since people do not get it. At all. Also, standing in front of the entrance waiting for your group just makes it take longer since the people that were called cant get in. People in airports are the worst. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-are-people-awful-at-boarding-flights#post-438985 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 10:31:02 +0000 blackbird 438985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People are stupid. Stupid, stupid, stupid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-are-people-awful-at-boarding-flights#post-438984 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 10:27:14 +0000 autumnlove 438984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally agree! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-are-people-awful-at-boarding-flights#post-438979 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 10:24:33 +0000 littlek 438979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Why do people have such issues boarding? It's not that hard people, look at your boarding group number and board when they call the number. Is this rocket science??? </p>
