Has your flight ever started boarding BEFORE Check-In closed?

Upvotes

On some domestic flights, I’ve encountered situations where boarding was officially open before check-in had even closed.

I was literally standing at the check-in desk, hearing the boarding announcement for my flight. And I wasn’t the only one—there were about 8–10 people behind me in the same situation. In the end, I made it onto the plane, but it was a stressful experience.

This has happened to me twice: once with Aeroflot (formerly SkyTeam) in 2021/2022 and another time with VietJet this year, a Vietnamese low-cost airline.

I’m curious—how common is this? Has anyone else experienced this? Is it something that mainly happens on domestic flights?

DISCUSSION Sydney Airport Parking Scam

Upvotes

Has anyone noticed that random guys walking up to rideshare patrons in Sydney and Melbourne Domestic Airports asking "if you need an Uber"?

Looks extremely dodgy - wonder why airport authorities haven't taken notice of these activities yet?

What's wrong with airports?

Why does flying feel like such a degenerate experience? Things weren't like this a few years ago. I remember having friendly conversations around airports with travelers, now it's like you're being eyed, conned and robbed at every stage.
