Travel

Frequent flyers with status and those who pay extra for the privilege are always given priority as per the pecking order the airline establishes.

I fly often enough where I get boarding priority on the airlines I frequent the most. If I had my way I'd be the last on and the first off, but unfortunately you have assholes who want to bring 3 carry on pieces, two of which are too large to carry on and they want to put all of it in the overhead capitalizing the space so nobody around them has any left. So I get on early and put my one appropriately sized bag in the overhead and put my small backpack underneath the seat. I always sit in the aisle, so if there's any space left after boarding I'll throw my backpack in the overhead.
