#PreBoarding
Meanwhile we're penned in inside the preboarding area waiting for a plane that has not even arrived at the gate yet. No bathrooms.

"I know what you are thinking. You are thinking I have too much of a youthful glow. You’re sure you saw me use my left hand, and maybe you saw my foot twitch. You think I can’t possibly deserve this kind of special treatment."

"I assure you, this is all a flex. What you are seeing is basically the highlight reel of my life as a disabled person. It is one special treatment after another."

If you wanted a different option you should have joined one of rhe bloc's preboarding members-only discussions about what to do on the bus. These are your options now; fly off a cliff or plow into traffic. I'm voting for the one that does harm reduction!

First a walk to jack london.

Then BART to a couple stops on a PCC and then a bendy 30 to the Hyde Ride.

We had Global Services preboarding for ourselves and stroller, and then picked up my wife’s somewhat flabbergasted cousin.

Ah, the time honored tradition of swarming the boarding gate despite it only being preboarding and everyone having a boarding zone.
Idiots.

Being in the preboarding group but still getting offered the option to pay to board early. Okay......lmfao

Sounds like if they are preboarding they really don't need to preboard anymore.

I wish i was joking when preboarding announced she said to her husband, well I think they will let all of us board or I will pretend I can't walk properly to get on first.
I was like... lady you can fuck off into the sun, pretending a disability is not beyond your entitlement I guess. 😾

Southwest’s Assigned Seating Sharply Cut Its Wheelchair Requests
Southwest Airlines has seen wheelchair assistance requests fall sharply since it abandoned open seating, and the airline attributes the drop to the removal of the boarding advantage that preboarding used to confer. Under the old system, passengers who preboarded for a disability effectively chose from an entirely empty cabin, which handed them the pick of seats on a carrier where no seat was assigned in advance.

You Thought Assigned Seats Killed Southwest’s Wheelchair Hack—But Requesting One Still Unlocks A Free Premium Seat from VFTW
You Thought Assigned Seats Killed Southwest’s Wheelchair Hack—But Requesting One Still Unlocks A Free Premium Seat
Southwest’s switch to assigned seating sharply reduced wheelchair requests by eliminating the old preboarding advantage. Now the airline is calling passengers who request assistance and offering free front-of-cabin premium seats to speed boarding and deplaning.

Mystery Jukeboxers - this is your preboarding announcement ahead of tomorrow. Kitty and assistants have arrived in Scotland and everything has been set up and ready to go (even dry weather forecast). Prepare to buckle up, spend 2 tokens, and chat. There may be turbulence if rules are broken.

Alaska Air bans it and clearly states it in the preboarding.

Preboarding doesn’t just mean front of the line. It means extra time and assistance. This isn’t optional. It’s required by federal law. And you’re required to provide it to any passenger who tells you they need it, not just those who requested wheelchair assistance. Looking at you, United.

I did find your exchange with the “I’m pro Europe” fella who claimed EES is a nonstarter yesterday sadly amusing

Eurostar was always the best way to travel London to Paris/Brussels even though the preboarding experience wasn’t anything like taking a normal train. Now that we are completely outside

You people are not ALL disabled, traveling with babies, or active military. Stop this preboarding madness.

@united - it would be dope if you could actually provide a space for the preboarding people to queue up because right now it’s just a big cluster.
