Hey everyone! Say hello to “Looey” the Gate Louse. Looey is, in fact, a nice guy! He doesn’t travel much but he loves taking trips; unfortunately he can be annoying and, quite frankly, somewhat clueless when it comes to the boarding process. He and other fellow gate lice, crowd the gate and boarding area, gathering in front of the boarding line when it isn’t their turn to board yet. Be nice to Looey, we don’t want an “incident” between passengers that will cause further delays! But don’t be “lousey”!! Know the process. Know when it’s your turn, and all will be well!

A “Gate Louse” (lice, plural) is a term used to describe a phenomenon observed among air travelers where passengers gather in front of boarding gates before their designated boarding time, adding to confusion, congestion and delays in the boarding process.
