The exceptions are priority boarding passengers, which are usually seated towards the front, but they're paying extra for this (or have status), it's not based on the selected seat among the regular seats. | |

| Jul 8, 2021 at 23:26 | comment | added | jcaron | Once you exclude premium fares which give priority (and are usually at the front), are there any airlines boarding front to back? In my experience it's either back to front, based on priority groups (related to check-in sequence), or just plain first come first serve. Other than priority boarding passengers, have you ever seen front to back? | |
