Can anybody explain to me why 'boarding first' is a desirable thing?
I know, good hand luggage space is a limited resource and therefore being one of the first improves your chances of finding a good place for your suitcase directly above your seat. Nevertheless not enough reason for me to stand in queue for hours. With >1.90m I prefer to chill up to the last minute in the boarding area with enough space for my legs. Later I have to sit long enough. Are there any other reasons I missed so far?
