# About strictly enforcing boarding order I wrote in a recent post.

Where it descended into **absolute** **chaos** was the flight to Frankfurt. First class, business, and priority passengers (mothers with children, passengers with disabilities,...) had their **own** **gate**. The rest of the plane (economy and premium economy) shared one. Since the aircraft was only connected by **one** jetbridge, it would have **made perfect sense** to board the front section passengers first through the second gate — they'd just walk through the back and not block anyone. **Wrong**. The agent kept **sending back** everyone who didn't belong in the rear rows. The queue was also **single file only**, splitting off only at the flight attendant who scanned you through. Chaos upon chaos... Luckily we **made** our **departure** window and avoided the storms.
