Minutes count when you’re trying to move hundreds of thousands of airline passengers every day.
So United Airlines is switching up its boarding policy in hopes of speeding things up at the airport.
The change is estimated to cut boarding time by up to two minutes, United told NPR Thursday.
The process for pre-boarding groups, such as unaccompanied minors, people with disabilities, families with small children and active-duty military members, won’t change.
United is adding a sixth boarding group for domestic flights and flights to the Caribbean and Central America for basic economy customers who don’t have a group number on their boarding pass.
It tested the new policy, known as WILMA, at five airports and found that it was faster.
