Boarding announcement needs improvement. Didn't hear the zones being called and all of a sudden we hear that we need to on the plane!! Crazy!! Also you had to condense your personal and carry on! We were fine but what about the other passengers?

Easy boarding, plenty of overhead space, entertaining staff, good progress communication, and on-time arrival.
