FIND it painful to wait with the masses to board your plane? Well now there’s a way to skip the queue – but it’ll cost you.

For $40 you can purchase an early-boarding option on Southwest Airlines, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Passengers who fork out extra for the privilege are guaranteed to be among the first 15 people on the plane. So then you can sit back and watch everyone else struggle with their bags.

This is particularly handy for those flying on this airline as there’s no assigned seating.

It’s another money-making scheme from the airline, which already offers an early bird check-in. For $10, passengers can get nudged up the boarding queue.

The new program was launched on Monday after receiving positive feedback on a test run last month.
