Airline Boarding Times Take Off

Airlines are trying to save time by speeding up a part of flying that creates delays even before the plane leaves the gate: the boarding process.

This summer travel season, Delta plans to preload carry-on bags above passengers' seats on some flights. Southwest wants to get families seated together more quickly.

Airlines have tinkered with different boarding systems almost since the days of Orville and Wilbur Wright, who tossed a coin to decide who would fly first aboard their biplane. Plenty of people have offered ideas for improvement, but no perfect method has ever emerged.

Most airlines let first-class and other elite customers board first. After that, some carriers fill the rear rows and work toward the front. Others fill window seats and work toward the aisle. Some use a combination of the two. Airlines have also tried other tricks, like letting people board early if they do not have aisle-clogging carry-on bags.

7 Time Management Tips for Working on the Road

Waking up at a bungalow two steps from the beach on Koh Tao Island, Thailand, I knew I had two choices: grab a coconut and relax on the sand or sit on my laptop and work. When you also have a tiki bar next door, fighting the urge to play can feel impossible. The best bet is to learn how to become a fast worker so you can maximize time spent in your destination.

Here are a few other tips to help you manage your time:

1. Become either an early morning person or a late night person. It’s easier to get stuff done when you aren’t suffering from FOMO. Plus, working during off hours creates a system incentive and reward — if you tell yourself you can only go on safari that afternoon if you write 1,000 words, you will.
