The new plan is called WILMA - for window, middle and aisle - and shaves up to two minutes off boarding time.
United says that after the initial boarding groups enter, window seat passengers in economy class without frequent flyer status will board next. They’ll be followed by those in middle seats, and passengers in aisle seats will board last.
United’s change also means those who book window seats could have a slight edge for coveted and limited overhead bin space.
The airline will implement the plan from October 26.
Source ONTD, do you board early to store your bags overhead and not under the seat in front?
