United Airlines thinks it has found a way to speed up the boarding process.<\/p>\n

Beginning on Oct. 26, the Chicago-based carrier will revamp everyone’s favorite part of the travel journey: boarding. As part of the policy update, the airline will add a seventh boarding group and spread out economy flyers across four total groups, based on what it calls a “WILMA” \u2014 or window, middle, aisle \u2014 ordering.<\/p>\n

This change was communicated to the carrier’s airport staff on Thursday, as was seen in an internal memo that was shared with TPG.<\/p>\n
