United Airlines has faced backlash from customers after implementing a new boarding policy that prioritizes passengers sitting in window seats. The system, known as WILMA, allows window seat passengers to board first, followed by those in middle and aisle seats. The airline claims that this change will save two minutes per flight. However, customers have expressed concerns about overhead bin space and voiced their displeasure on social media, with some calling for boycotts.

United Airlines is implementing a new boarding procedure for economy class passengers, starting on October 26. After the initial boarding groups, window seat passengers without frequent flyer status will board first, followed by those in middle seats, and aisle seat passengers will board last. The process, known as WILMA (window-middle-aisle), has been tested and proven to save up to two minutes of boarding time. This change may give an advantage to passengers who book window seats in terms of overhead bin space. The move is aimed at improving efficiency and reducing boarding time, which can result in significant cost savings for airlines.
