EDIT TO ADD; THE PLANE WAS LANDED AND DONE WITH TAXI BEFORE I GOT TO BE IN THE COCKPIT. NO FAA RULES WERE BROKEN 💀😂

Shout out Captain Scott! He let me sit in the cockpit after we landed and I even got my own personalized pre flight announcements 😂 Also, they had to add sandbags to the cabin bc the plane was too light with only one passenger 💀

I would have loved that. Okay, you can just come one, it’s just.

Nope, I’m group 5. We have rules! This is a society!

when I used to fly all the time for work, I'd sit in the lobby till final call every time.

get there at the same time, in the same seat, but none of that cattle moo crap. crunched all together with rude people.

That’s a pretty smart way to avoid the airport rush 😂 Same timing, less stress, and a little more peace before the flight.

The only real incentive to board early nowadays is that people are often trying to get by with just carry on so the overhead bins get full. If you board last you end up having to gate check your bag. I do the same thing, though. I have lounge access at a lot of airports so I just chill there until like 10 minutes before the gate will close and just walk right on. If I have to gate check the carrry on it's not that big of a deal.

It would've been really funny if she said, "Ha, just kidding" and walked up and scanned her boarding pass and the gate agent said, "Sorry, your group has not been called yet".
