Is it not time for a Trusted Traveller scheme, like they have in the US? Allowing fast-track security, and hence, late arrival at the airport, and arrival in your seat just before the door closes? Although in the present age, it would likely require a QR code on your Covid app, if not an embedded RFI.
And while we're at it, a "straight to departure lounge" route to avoid the malls!
How much are you willing to pay for that?
You get what you pay for, prices are at an all time low, airports have to make money somehow.
