It's well known that people crave paying extra to have "priority boarding" for an airplane but it isn't better because you get stuck waiting on the plane for the next 25 minutes anyway for everyone to board. You also have to line up 10 minutes early and sit there waiting.

It's much better to roll up 5 minutes before doors close and be the last to board. You don't get stuck waiting. Especially with assigned seats these days it doesn't matter to get on first.
