Why do international flights board incredibly faster than domestic ones?

Our take

Have you ever noticed how international flights seem to board with lightning speed compared to domestic ones? It’s astonishing to witness a jumbo jet fill up in just 10 minutes, even with passengers who don’t speak English, as seen on my trip to Seoul. In contrast, domestic flights often feel chaotic, with delays and distractions like crying children and passengers who neglect basic etiquette. This raises an intriguing question: why is boarding so seamless internationally?

It always amazes me the quick and efficient nature of boarding a jumbo jet with 100s of people that don’t speak English (going to Seoul) and the entire boarding process was no joke 10 mins. Everyone sat in their seats, got out of the aisle and put stuff away in a manner that seemed otherworldly. Meanwhile trying to board a domestic flight to FLL or Cali is always ALWAYS a hassle, add in the screaming child and person refusing to cover their mouth when they sneeze or cough and its par for the course. When I was in Tokyo in December same thing going and coming. No screaming children, quick amazing service, easy boarding. In the US, shambles almost every time. What do we think this is about? Are people just trying to get the f out of the western hemisphere as quickly as possible?
