      It’s a fee, boarding first isn’t a privilege really, though I understand why it might feel that way to some

        It is on southwest, since there’s no unassigned boarding. I’m a tall dude, and I always pay for early boarding so I can get myself an emergency row seat

          Ah, I’ve never flown without an assigned seat. Can see it making sense in that case
