United Airlines drops family priority early boarding process

Just in time for summer vacation, families with small children traveling on United Airlines will no longer be able to board early.

Families with children who aren't flying first or business class now have to board with their ticketed boarding groups.

The airline adopted the policy last month "to simplify the boarding process and to reduce the overall number of boarding groups," says United spokesman Charles Hobart.

They’re not talking about it but I’m sure that you’ll have to pay a “family priority” boarding fee.
