Boarding an airplane has always been an annoying and stressful process, made even worse by airlines that have raised baggage fees and are capitalizing on overcrowding to increase profits.

For those who either want or need to board early at any cost, the options are to pay for the privilege by selecting a higher fare class or purchasing an "extra ticket," or simply asking the gate agent or person in front of you, as reported by Dcourier.com.

Many passengers are starting to devise various strategies to board before everyone else and bypass the queue. For instance, travel experts have observed passengers requesting a wheelchair solely for boarding, using it to enter the aircraft, and then discarding it upon arrival at the destination airport.

They also frequently resort to using fake casts or canes for this purpose.

However, experts do not recommend resorting to such extremes. It's better to try to address the issue in a more civilized manner.

As TravelWise wrote, a flight attendant named a few things you shouldn't do before boarding an airplane.
