Aircraft boarding: window seats first, aisle last; rear first, not last

Why this matters

Standard boarding (front to back) blocks the aisle. Random boarding is faster but chaotic. Window-to-aisle filling eliminates “seat switching” (standing up to let someone in).

Principle

Optimize the bottleneck (the aisle).
