Gate Lice are the pain in the butt for the airline industry.

it’s bad enough that air travel today often taxes our patience, what with having to deal with overcrowded airports, long waiting lines to get checked for your flight, cancelled flights.

And with all those hassles we also have to put up with the Gate Lice of this world.

So who are these Gate Lice?

Simply put they are que jumpers. They hover around around the airline’s boarding gate intending to board the plane first, snagging the best seats, ensuring their baggage can be placed in the overhead bins.

And that sense of entitlement by the Gate Lice is resented by their fellow passengers and airline employees.

But, now, finally one airline is dealing with the situation.

Here is how.

Thank you American Airlines.

If the American Airlines project is popular with the travelling public you can bet other airlines will follow so Gate Lice become a thing of the past.
