What is the difference between landing rules in different US airlines

Airlines constantly change and improve the process of boarding passengers on the plane. They tried everything: a free landing for all passengers, an earlier entrance for passengers whose seats are in the tail of the aircraft, or for those who will sit near the window. One airline even tried first to let passengers into the cabin without hand luggage, which also makes sense, given that the placement of bags on the luggage shelves delays the landing of all passengers behind.

Rules change frequently as airlines look to streamline and speed up the boarding process, so it's worth knowing these conditions so you know when you should be at the boarding gate—either toward the start of boarding or toward the end. Edition USA Today collected data on the main stages of the landing process in various US airlines.
