But wait, there's more....

Here are the official levels that board prior to the fabulous "don't you want to spend $79/year so you can get the preferred boarding that is Zone 2"?  First there are the preboarders -- those who borrow or rent kids so they can get on board early -- and the military, of course.  Next up, in no particular order is:

Business Class
Dividend Miles Chairman's Preferred
AAdvantage Executive Platinum
oneworld Emerald
Dividend Miles Gold Preferred
Dividend Miles Platinum Preferred

AAdvantage Platinum

oneworld Sapphire

Dividend Miles Silver Preferred

AAdvantage Gold

oneworld Ruby

 

Oh yeah, and the people who pay $26 a pop for "preferred boarding"

 

Then comes Zone 1...

 

And then finally there was us.
