Pushback Daily

Board the plane. Push back on time.

Pushback Daily is a puzzle about the part of every flight everyone has opinions on: boarding. One new flight a day, the same for everyone. You're the crew: pick who boards next, keep the aisle moving, and get every passenger seated before the scheduled departure.

Designed by a working flight attendant, so every delay is one you've seen at the gate:
• The roller bag that takes two minutes to lift into the bin
• The passenger sitting in someone else's seat
• The window seat who arrives after the aisle and middle have settled in
• The full bins, the slow walker, the unaccompanied minor's briefing

The aisle is one person wide. Anyone who stops blocks everyone behind them, so a bad call at the door ripples all the way down the cabin.

USE YOUR CREW TOOLS
Hold the door to let a jam clear. Tag a bag at the door. Help someone stow. Redirect a squatter before they sit. Ask a passenger to step aside and call them later. Every tool shows exactly how many minutes it saves.
