Sequence Number
I find this interestingly absurd so I recorded it here for future reference.
The sequence number on a boarding pass is the number that indicates the order in which you checked in for the flight.
Airline staff use it for reconciliation, auditing, or troubleshooting check-in issues. And sometimes even to decide who gets kicked off if they are over-booked.
Right now I’m stuck on the ground on a deathstar flight to Brisbane because they’ve found too many people on the flight and they’re using the sequence numbers in attempt to square the ledger.
Retards broke their own boarding pass scanner, someone scammed their way through the manual process, and now we’re paying the price.
Or they just can’t count.
