This article makes me think about the Christmas gift I got my son one year - a week long ice climbing trip in Colorado- his long wanted adventure came & he loved it but when I asked what the most memorable part of the trip was he replied it was getting off the major airlines airplane and getting in a much smaller plane and having to walk up the stairs to enter the plane. “I’ve always wanted to do that!” I was dumbfounded I grew up entering all planes that way - to him it was not outdated much a much cooler & desired experience! How we all look at things so differently never ceases to amaze me!

We still have airplane stairs here. Usually for smaller planes but sometimes larger ones. For those, there are steps in the front and the back.

when I was visiting in Australia it was interesting that the planes boarded in front, people exited in the back via steps
