Qantas passengers will now be assigned group numbers that will determine when they can board.
Qantas passengers travelling domestically may notice new systems for boarding from Monday, as the airline begins a rollout of new “Australian first” procedures aimed at speeding up performance times.
While airlines have largely used systems such as boarding from the back to the front, or seating premium cabins and high-ranking frequent flyers first, Qantas’ new system will see passenger boarding passes assigned a number from one to six, which will determine when the passenger can board. “Group boarding is designed to minimise the time our customers spend waiting to board and allows them to get settled more quickly,” Svensson said.
