Probably to make the whole process speedier and cheaper for the airline.

You'd have to completely finish boarding for lower classes and then give a decent grace period for first class passengers to just show up at their leisure.

Also first class (and often business) are kinda separated so no one stares you down.

I fly premium economy sometimes and you're the first to board and sit upfront and then you have to watch everybody walking by!

It's a world of difference between premium economy and business, sigh.

Norwegian Air Shuttle had a pretty cool idea with their premium cabin. It's not crazy expensive but the seats are so much better!



First class boarding first is absolutely the wrong way to speed up boarding. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAHbLRjF0vo


The few times I flew business it wasn't separated. I felt really awkward while economy passengers were boarding and staring at me in my seat while walking down the aisle.

When I'm flying economy (most of the time) I always avoid staring at business passengers so they don't feel awkward as well.
