Get ready to be introduced to WILMA, or United Airlines’ new acronym that illustrates how passengers will be boarding.
Natalie Dreier, Cox Media Group National Content DeskStarting on Oct. 26, the airline will have passengers with window seats on the plane first, followed by middle seats with aisle seats filled last. Families, however, will still be able to board together,The change only applies to people seated in economy, not those with first- or business-class tickets.
The company will assign one of seven boarding groups: preboarding; first-class; business-class; window, exit row and nonrevenue passengers; middle; aisle; and finally, those without a boarding group or basic economy seats, This isn’t the first time WILMA has been used. The company tried it in 2017 at five airports and as expected, it did cut down on boarding times.JetBlue used to board back-to-front to keep people from standing in the aisles, and while it went away, it did return for a time during the COVID-19 pandemic,
But most airlines load front to back, row by row with priority seating a benefit for buying more expensive tickets.Man wrongfully imprisoned for 16 years is shot, killed by deputy after traffic stopTwo separate million-dollar lottery tickets bought in Western WashingtonFamily of woman who allegedly waited 4 hours in Everett ER before dying sues hospital
