People that stand in the aisle as soon as flight lands. (1 Viewer)

If all they're doing is standing and not trying to push forward, I don't have a problem. Another perk with an aisle seat.

OH... it's not just those who stand in the aisle... those who jump up and then go running down the aisle in order to get as far forward as possible before everyone else jumps out of their seat....

I don't mind this but when Mr. Middle Seat half stands/hovers under the stow away bins and basically shoves his rear in my face for the next few minutes while we wait for the passengers to deplane, I get stabby. Does not apply to Ms. Middle Seat though if I can get a couple quarters back on two dollars.

As soon as the plane lands my seatbelt is off! 
LOL, I do this all the time. I never jump up to make sure I get in the middle if the other person wants it, but I always try and get an aisle seat. I'm not super tall, but I'm always shifting my legs around and I normally lean into the aisle because I've got pretty broad shoulders. All that said, after sitting for a couple hours, it feels great to stand up and stretch out a bit. If nobody jumps up quickly, I will stand up so I'm not sitting anymore. It has nothing to do with getting off the plane quickly, it's about not sitting anymore.

Yep, I know. I was trying to say that I'm OK in the seat, i.e. not uncomfortable, but I just don't feel like sitting more than I need to sit. Most flights I get on are around an hour in flight and another half hour/hour on the ground/taxiing. With the drink service, I usually hang in the seat unless I have to hit the bathroom. I am fine in the seat, but happy to stand up when the seat belt light is off.

f you....after having sat in that tiny seat for any amount of time I want to stand up. Also if people start to get luggage out of the bins it makes the offloading process much more efficient. When do you stand? You are the person in that puts me way behind if I am sitting in the middle or window seat.

That's why I always sit in the isle seat and the seat belt is off upon landing. I never do carry on so as soon as the light goes off, I go up as far as can before the masses start with the overhead bin mess.

Standing up also allows the people you have been crammed in with to spread out a bit.
No, I got tired of your flab hanging over the arm rest and your crappy breath. I feel like standing up and I will.

The guy who packs all his #### up slowly in his bag and then puts on his coat is the ahole.
Treat this like driving we are working together to get the hell off as fast as possible m.

you suck worse than the person that sits and does not get their luggage out. I would say in the pecking order you are pretty high up there for d-bag just below the person that tries to bring on 10 bags and the mid west people that completely spill over to other peoples seats. Wait your turn.

It's not like I'm walking over people. I jump before people have even stood up. I don't know anyone without overhead stuff that doesn't do that if it's in the clear to do so. If you are shoving to get through then that's something else.

I was recently on a flight sitting in an aisle seat near the front of the plane. When we landed a small group of people asked politely if we(aisle sitters) could let them pass as they had a connection to make. They were able to move forward perhaps two or three rows and they all had their bags in hand and were ready to roll when the door opened. Took me perhaps an extra 15 seconds to get out of my seat while I waited for them to pass. Guy in center seat starts berating me about how wants off the plane now and how dare I let a few people get ahead of me in the aisle. I explained they asked nicely and was just a few people trying to make a connection but he insisted they were lying and I got scammed and started physically pushing me into the aisle. Very bizarre behavior. We were still one of the first dozen or so people sitting in coach to deplane.

You are the problem. This is why the thread was started - i wasn't sure until I read your post. Consider it a PSA.

Does it help that I don't fly much domestic at all?TheAristocrat

Connecting flights are different. If you have to connect, by all means go first. Its a ##### and I get that. I'll gladly wait.
But if you've got no place to go but the baggage claim or your car or something that isn't a another plane in a separate area of the terminal, sit tight and act like you've been on a plane before.

No, its just really unacceptable adult behavior unless you can prove why you are entitled to be that special and the rest of us so far below your being.
ETA: For instance, if Bill Murray were sitting in 37F, I personally think the entire plane should wait for him to get off first even if he took seven bags on the plane and placed them in seven different overhead bins.
How do you compare to Bill Murray?

Well how about if I don't get out relatively quick I may have a panic attack, especially after those looooooooong flights.No, its just really unacceptable adult behavior unless you can prove why you are entitled to be that special and the rest of us so far below your being.

This is rude and you should know that you're being an #######. You probably fly 2-3x / year?
If some ####### put his hands on me while yelling at me to deplane, we would have had a big problem and he wouldn't have deplaned quickly. What a #####.

This. I'm tall, so I always get an aisle seat so I can move my legs as best as possible without hitting anybody. And when the plane stops, I'll stand up and stretch. No harm to anybody there.
People who rush up through the aisle are #######s who need to be slapped. Travelling by air is like zombie apocalypse in terms of how basic social norms have broken down. I swear I never saw anybody pull this move until last year, and I've seen it multiple times since then. Deplorable.

Maybe these people just have to messy #2 really bad. 
Airplane seating question: Every time I have booked a flight in the past year or so the only options are middle seats, all of the window and aisle seats cost an extra $20+ for each leg of the flight. I can't figure out if this is because I always book last minute or if this is just an airline scam to milk more money from you and this premium is charged no matter when you book the flight. Do you guys pay the premium for a good seat?

Curly would need to be a nine minimum and guys and girls alike both would want to stop and stare so as to remember. Maybe it was a rip in the butt. Maybe it was a top three woman that you had ever seen before. Everyone would want to watch.
Otherwise, no.
Man I just so don't care. People stand in the aisle but in my experience when it's your row's turn to go they let you. I usually check baggage as I hate carrying it through the airport anyways so I don't have much on me. I'm going to be waiting a few minutes at baggage claim anyways so I'm not in a hurry. People need to take an Aaron Rodger's pill and R E L A X. Quit being in such a hurry.

Yes the airlines keep those seats free for frequent flyers. It's another scam to make people who fly a lot, feel like we are getting a perk. In return for spending thousands of dollars on flights each year, we'll reward you with no bag fees and an aisle seat. You're welcome!Maybe these people just have to messy #2 really bad.
