“I’ve always hated the term ‘pre-boarding,’” Katie says, grimacing as the platinum flyers, the gold level status passengers, the medallion level customers, the whatevers all begin to board the plane before us.
“It’s just a scam to get people to believe that they’re special, to pay for the privilege of being ahead of you,” I reply.
“So if you have ‘Zone 1’ on your ticket, it’s actually, like, the third group to get on,” she says, pointing bitterly at the spots in front of the ticket taker’s desk where each group can line up for ‘Zone 1’ and so-on.
“‘Zone 4’ is actually just the bar next to the gate,” I say, and Katie laughs.
