Passengers are being asked to stay seated in the waiting area until their row is announced.a post on Delta's websiteBy boarding from back to front, the airline says there's less chance passengers will have to pass by each other as they find their seats.Delta One and First Class passengers, as well as Diamond Medallion members, will continue to be able to board whenever they choose.
Earlier this month, Delta initiated a spaced boarding process that allowed fewer passengers at a time to board to prevent potential exposure to coronavirus. In addition to the new back-to-front boarding process, Delta says it has taken a number of safety measures, including providing crews with masks. Customers are being asked to bring their own masks.Delta, like all major carriers, has
Please hand out sanitation wipes to passengers too!!
You don’t say, only took a killer virus
That just makes more sense no matter how you look at it.
For people too young to remember this used to be the way boarding goes. Some genius figured out it could make more money with different classes and hence your current chaotic boarding system
They should all do that anyway...makes more sense!!
I’ve always said that planes should be boarded from the back. It would save so much time but the wankers who have paid double to sit up front would bitch.
This is how it ALWAYS should be. It’s annoying as crap to climb over and walk past 100 people to get to your seat while trying nag not to hit anyone with your carry-on. I’ve been saying this for years....
Makes sense
virus aside, wouldnt this make boarding go much faster anyways? no-brainer.
Makes sense, should always be this way. The boarding first class first and then stand in line in front of there snobbish looks while people try and cram big bags in a small hole has always baffled my mind.
It should always be done this way! Results.......quicker boarding.
Last class is now First class!🤩
Keep doing it. Require folks to use the overhead storage by their OWN SEATS as well
FlyANA_official has been doing this for years..
What about the unboarding¿? covid19
twoifbyair But if you do that, nobody would clog the aisles, a trademark of air travel
Well it is about damn time. Now give us more space all around our seats.
Those of us older travellers remember that is how it used to be. As a kid, I remember Eastern Airlines boarding back to front. The rear section was for smokers.
Exactly👍 should have been the process for years....
Interesting.
How about letting families sit together in the seating arrangements? If they get bailed out this industry should be given conditions. Or let them fail and restructure them so they are not fleecing their customers with BS charges
That's mighty considerate of them. Not that this type of boarding procedure wouldn't have made sense front the dawn of airplane rides?
Oddly, the 1st class passengers will still board first, so they'll be more exposed to anyone sick. Suck it 1%ers?
Why did it take a pandemic to make this happen?!?! Geez 🙄
Common sense!
We ALL HAVE KNOWN THAT MADE SENSE For 40 years. Glad they finally figured it out . Also , put all the crying kids together seated in the back with a barrier/wall that can be put up so screaming is a minimum suffering the rest . boarding airlines coronavirus
It's good soon the other airlines Will following.
It only took a global pandemic for common sense to prevail
Finally, Virgin Atlantic has been doing this for 10 years. Back to front makes so much more sense.
That used to be normal. It makes logistical sense. 🙄
Finally, some common sense!
This was actually suggested by the delta employees years ago to decrease boarding times. But the first class passengers complained they had to wait an extra 4 minutes to board
Which logically should have been done for years! It ain’t rocket scouts
Um, but people who pay for the preferred packages can still board anytime they want, as the article says, so (sarcastically put) consistently deployed public health policies be damned. That's why I love SouthwestAir's equitable seating policy.
The Way Continental Used To Do It
Just thinking of that crap now!? So stupid Delta 🙄
Really? I thought the three passengers just did rock, paper, scissors.
Should have always been this way! Duh!
New boarding process: Pre-boarding Travelers who need extra time to board Military personnel First class Diamond Medallion Platinum Medallion Gold Medallion Silver Medallion Comfort + Coronavirus Infected Coronavirus Infected Non-Symptomatic Near a Coronavirus Infected Zone 1
Oh wow, common damn sense. Now charge for carry-on and do free checked luggage and flights might be enjoyable again
Really it a deadly virus for them to finally board the correct way .
Yes, can't have the dregs of society infecting the upper classes as they pass by to their seats to economy, now can we.
Finally!!!!!!!
From where to where?
