Were they using two aerobridges to board the A330 in SYD?Another couple of data points.
SYD-AKL last week, priority boarding enforced for a bus gate
But hey it was the thought that counted.
Today SYD-PER. IME boarding an A330 in the priority queue is usually an absolute cough show. Not today, ground staff making several announcements, moving people out of the queue who should have been in the Y queue.
Baby steps but I think we might be getting there.

UL enforce PB for bus gates. It means you get a seat and others stand. Of course at the base of the steps up to the aircraft cas returns.Another couple of data points.

Sometimes it an an exclusive bus for J, other times shared. I am about 50/50 so far.UL for business class PB supply a bus just for business class - as do FlyDubai, S7 and any number of others. The great unwashed get bussed out, while J pax relax in err, the gate lounge . The the J bus delivers its pax and the doors close soon afterwards.

EK have it down to a tee for the remote gates in DXB. The F bus, sumptuous leather seats and sea of gold bling, which waits for the F pax, followed by the J bus for the J pax. Only falls down if you’re embarking in J and miss your bus.Sometimes it an an exclusive bus for J, other times shared. I am about 50/50 so far.
It remains to be seen if this will last, or if it will ever be extended to the regional flights from the capitals, or from regional airports (though these are not major concerns to most of us).

How humiliating to be watching the elites breezing on board.Another data point, HBA this past Friday. Priority boarding went through both scanners as regular boarding was taped off so I had to wait with my fellow "great unwashed"
Sounds like the elite were queuing with the rest....How humiliating to be watching the elites breezing on board.

Possibly a glitch?That's great, and amazing, as HBA wasn't scheduled to be included just yet.
....or they thought that RooFlyer was boarding.Possibly a glitch?
I'm wondering if they are smoothing the way by calling for premium pax to board, before issuing the boarding call in the lounge?Mel-BNE today.premium queue boarded first though only 6 of us in that queue.
Premium baggage though back to normal.To be fair 3 more bags came out after mine.
