Hi guys,

Would you like to board your flight through a jetway or a ramp?

Ramp for all the aviation enthusiasts including me, Jetway for the boring lot and pregnant ladies. Smile

I prefer jetways if they are transparent, like the ones at DXB or HYD. It feels great to stand at the door of the aircraft and yet be able to see all around it.

Has to be the Ramp. Shows u the humongousness of the beast, pampers you with the Engine Acoustics. Its an instant Turn-On. Smile

For domestic flights I would rather use the aerobridge. It just makes things quicker.

Now if I was flying a bigger beast and/or a new airport then it’s a different story Smile

I prefer jetways, they are more efficient, and they are better for rainy/cold climates like where I live. For the added view, I like the transparent/glass jetways quite a bit. A few weeks ago I was at JFK on a very rainy day, and my NW flight to MSP boarded via bus. No time for any ramp views or anything. I had to wait on the bus while other passengers got into the aircraft, and then make a mad dash for the aircraft. I cannot imagine what it would be like to board via bus on a cold day in January.

Like in smaller airports I prefer walking to the plane. among jetways and ramp I prefer taking a ride to the aircraft.
