Hey, gate lice -- stop crowding the gate - Airplane tip {Gadling}

Jul 20th 2010 4:35PM I actually disagree with part of the first part of this, as to congregating in the terminal. I use to think the same way, but after traveling once a month for the last 2 years at a minimum I have changed my opinion. It is much better if you go by your group number, otherwise you're "that person" that needs to get to the back of the plan while everyone else is in the front loading their luggage into the overhead compartments. Or your the one that needs to run back and forth from the front to the back trying to find a place for your luggage. This slows up the whole departure. I have seen it happend more times then I can count, and it's very frustrating for everyone else. I may be convienent for you, but not the other passengers on the flight.
