Just don't do what Thai Airways does at Bangkok when you transfer from an
international to a domestic flight: Domestic passengers board from the
front, international transit passengers boar from the rear. Doesn't matter
where they're sitting. So you have people fighting past each other as they
move through the aisles in opposite directions. Sometimes you get a
North/southbound Zak problem with two of those giant-rollaboard people. But
the flight attendant can't get to them to resolve it because the entire
plane is then a logjam.
