Well, here at BHX we dispatch both Ryanair (no seating allocation) and bmi baby
(allocated seats). Even allowing for the different aircraft size (737-800/189Y versus 737-300/148-149Y), guess what's faster? Boarding a baby flight was even faster than a Ryanair 737-200/130Y - and in winter baby use airbridges (which are supposed to slow down the boarding process due to only 1 entrance being available).
Enough said.
Cheers
