"Just to let you know most airlines now check boarding cards right the way thru to boarding the ac this is for your security..."
I don’t have a problem with security measures – in fact the thought that security has been improved makes me a happier pax.
However, I still can’t understand why I needed to have my boarding pass checked at the gate, at the bottom of the steps to the aircraft and then 30 secs later on entering the cabin. In the grand scheme of things this is of course a very minor quibble.
But it does still seem to be a bit OTT – and a probably delayed the moment when we were all finally sat down, and the crew able to go off and have a well deserved cuppa!
