I also would be hesitant to describe their process as 'ordered.' 'Chaotic' is more my experience, since only the frequent fliers actually understand the boarding order, which isn't helped by their terminology. "Zone 2" is actually the fifth group to board the aircraft, behind preboard, "Premium" (First and Diamond,) "Sky Priority" (Platinum and Gold + premium economy,) and "Zone 1" (Silver + DL AmEx cardholders.) This leads to Zone 2 people thinking they should queue early when they're last. | |

| Sep 1, 2016 at 15:47 | comment | added | Peter M | @masterX244 I was recently rebooked on a flight and got bumped from window to aisle and from group 3 to 5, I complained about that to the gate and the united agent said it was the difference between window and aisle. Perhaps that only applies to premium economy? | |
