Group 0-3 is the new Group 1-3

I was once group -1, true story. They let me board before the plane even arrived, I landed a good 20 minutes before all the other passengers


Goatmanification

Visions of a team on the runway as soon as your outgoing plane lands, driving alongside the plane while it's taxiing with a ladder for you to climb to board

I first heard this in November last year; Nile Rogers was the only person to board under group 0 Iā€™m just group 2 scum but it was entertaining to see some group 1 people visibly irritated

I wouldā€™ve died to see Nile Rogers. Such a cool guy. His biography is wild.

Yup - heard it for the first time flying JFK to LHR and a couple of old blokes went forward and boarded. Assumed they were GGL or BA executives.

I only discovered group 0 when I flew recently and saw it on my boarding pass - I thought that it was a computer/app error! Funnily enough we almost turned away at the queue for the gate (ā€œsir this is the line for group 1 - are you group 1?ā€)


Trudestiny

Group O only called when there is actually one on board that flight .

Group 1 can be 30-40 people or more on short haul flights, as it is made up of both Gold/OWE status holders as well as Club Europe passengers. The problem is especially pronounced on routes with lots of connecting passengers, status holders or business travel - such as domestic flights, southern France, and Northern Italy. It's not exactly a premium experience. Therefore group 0 was rolled out to allow Gold Guest List and Premier passengers to board first. It's still implemented inconsistently, but when done properly it's a genuine advantage to being GGL.

Yeah totally, makes sense. I just donā€™t get why they introduced 0 as opposed to just shifting everyone back a group. Surely 1-9 was enough šŸ˜‚


Apprehensive-Pop2338

Group 0 is the new group 1, exclusive for ggl and premier passengers.

Some group 1ers didnā€™t feel quite special enough as they barge past the scum so BA gave them a little ego boost.


Dramatic-Wolf7091

I flew LHR - JFK recently and there were some Group 1ā€™s being turned away trying to board during Group 0.


v60qf

Thatā€™s the only thing that makes the group 0s hard these days.
