Qantas to Introduce Group Boarding and Bag Tracking

Or maybe only AU originating, not overseas origin?

Possibly, didn’t have it on todays ZQN-SYD, but also didn’t have it on a SYD-LAX about a month ago.

QF1 yesterday had group boarding for the SYD-SIN leg. They called for passengers in F first before Group 1. Didn’t want to hang around to observe group boarding on an A380 but there was a bit of crowding around the gate area before group 1 was called.
Quite a few people in group 1, and at least one person attempted to board earlier than their assigned group and failed (probably not intentionally?).

QF group boarding is about 10, possibly 15, years too late, but it's literally the best change made to the entire company in this time.
Sure, they've opened a couple of non-Aus F lounges in this time, but nothing beats the effect this has on the customer experience.

QF 803 today. I counted ten people who were obviously illiterate or needed an audiologist and were made to do the walk of shame. I needed a laugh for the day and that sure did it.
