Some airlines no longer let babies and small children board first

What's that all about ? Has anyone else had this experience recently ? I found it quite challenging. Surely it's better for the little people to be seated first to enable everyone else to board quicker ?

^^ This…very much agree.

I know what you mean. I have a semi-verbal autistic young man, who is dying to get on the plane. I need a wheelchair, the long walk to the gate is too hard for me.

Special assistance is a boon, but they take me flying past all the shops so quickly. Whilst, we have to keep 'shouting' at 'the boy' to slow down.

In some ways, I am happy to on the plane quickly, especially to make sure 'the boy' is in place, but do like the fresh air and space.

Luckily for me, he's always liked travelling. Although, a meltdown at check-in cancelled our last holiday.
