  I think it'd be faster if you could have 2 or 3 doors to enter the plane, rather than one ridiculous entryway for 200 people.

    Yes! I have boarded flights like that in Korea. Much faster.

  This sounds like something our culture as decided is a huge annoyance, when it's not.  I usually wait to the end, walk on at the tail of the crowd, and get seated.  I get to sit outside while the first class and privileged people are already in their seats, and I get there at the same time as everyone else.  It takes a couple of minutes.  Compared to the time wasted standing in lines for the waste-of-space TSA it's nothing.

    Simon, I use the same method, and while I'll agree that it is great for us as individuals, the problem still exits for everyone, including the airline.  Look up studies of "how much it costs per minute to have a plane parked at a gate while de-planing and boarding" and you'll see why this is an issue that needs a solution beyond "oh just wait for everyone to get on then the line is short!"

  In 1986 I flew a domestic flight in Japan in a 747.  It was completely full and doors closed in less than ten minutes.  Another poster mentioned that US carriers haven't a clue, but I think it's the US culture of pushiness and me-first (or "me-only") that is really at the root of the problem.  And I don't see that changing anytime soon.  If anything, I think it is getting worse.

  Completely missing the point here, the order does not matter. People fly with too much crap to carry one. I have flown internationally over 1.5M miles and seen what does and what does not work, none of the USA carriers have a clue. There two airlines in china i have flown many on regional flights (2 hours and under) there planes load and unload with amazing speed-the solution is simple. There is no overhead storage all have been removed, big signs all over boarding explaining this, backpack or smaller only thing allowed in the cabin. And yes it works
