Why do I have to show my ticket stub when entering an airplane?

A few reasons:

  • a final sanity check that you didn’t walk down the wrong corridor. Some gates have two ‘legs’. Or you could have snuck on or something.
  • On larger planes, to see what aisle you should walk down. Otherwise people will randomly choose one and spend time climbing over seats and getting in the way. They’re on a time schedule, and want you boarded as fast as possible.
  • To greet you – if you’re a club member or similar.
  • Some may have extra ‘cues’ on that they need to be aware of – you might require assistance.
  • In addition to which aisle, which direction – sometimes you board behind 1st class, so they need to direct you that way.

But yeah, it’s annoying 😉
