Why stand in line to board an airplane? (lemmy.world)

The seats are assigned. People have been standing in line for 15 minutes now. Why on earth would anyone want to stand there, when they could just sit and wait until the line clears?

I understand wanting to get off a plane ASAP, but boarding? You just end up sitting on the plane, waiting for everyone else to get on.

Because you do not have assigned overhead bag storage, and people bring either bags that are too big, or bring multiple bags

Exactly. The airlines created this situation when they began charging for check-in bags

Haven't they "solved" it by charging for hand-luggage too?
