Or rather late seating. Last year I got injured 1 day before flying and end up asking for assistance because I was alone with my kids and carrying a heavy hiking back pack while using crutches that I borrowed from family and were too small for me.

Airline just told us to sit in a chair next to the gate and they would call us and help us at the very end of the boarding phase. It was much more comfortable for me and my daughters to stay in the lounge in a comfy chair than boarding early and have to wait ages on a tiny economical seat while being sometimes smacked by other passengers bags and stuff while they were looking for their seat.
