How fast can people get on a plane?

Three boarding orders, the same 84 passengers, one clock.

The thought

Random, back to front, and window first run side by side. Stowing a bag takes longer when someone already sits between the aisle and the seat, which is why the order matters more than the queue.

What comes next

What could be new: boarding groups computed from the seat map at the gate, not from the fare class.
