I also do this, especially if you have assigned seats and are flying light, there is no reason to be the first person on the plane unless you like sitting and doing nothing for 45 minutes.

To which $15 do you refer? Surely there is no charge for being at the end of the queue?

Sorry, checked bag fee.

Where are you that it's only $15? It's $60 around here.

is it ever just $15?
