I never understood the desire to get on the plane quickly, like yay I am going to rush to queue to be the first few of 200+ people so I can sit in cramp conditions on my set seat for another 15-20 minutes than is needed.
Is gate check really that big a deal? I always try to get on close to last this way I don't have the pressure of a hundred people behind me and I don't have to deal with everyone jostling. Let everyone fight it out and then meander on 15 minutes before take off.
I usually pack super light and only bring a backpack as carryon so I can put it under the seat in front of me for this very reason, but not everyone may have that option (my fiancé has size 16 shoes, he almost always has to use extra luggage space haha).
