I know “rich” means a lot of different things to a lot of different people, but “paying for priority boarding” should not be included in a reasonable definition of the word.
It absolutely should be - it gives you no reasonable value… you don’t get there any faster - and having priority boarding (outside of for those with kids/disabilities) makes everything slower for everyone. It is absolutely the most frivolous luxury.
Do you mean flying first class? Because that’s different than priority boarding. They are in a different section of the plane, and the people there are paying for a lot more things than boarding.
100% even if I get like a or b group I still don’t board til the end. Does me no good getting on the plane before everyone if I have an assigned seat. I usually have just a backpack with me and don’t need to waste my time with the stupid overhead bin. Southwest was the only airline where boarding made sense and now they’re fucking that up too.
Though they’ll still use the fucking ridiculous boarding groups that slow down embarking just to make rich people feel special, right?

It’s a frivolous luxury that costs like $20 extra per ticket. For most people that’s just personal preference.
For twenty bucks you might be moving yourself from group 7 to group 5 - it costs hundreds or thousands to reach group 1.
