These same people will all stand up at once the moment the plane stops.. and continue to uncomfortably stand there for like twenty minutes.
On my last flight my gf sprung up and was irritated that I wasn't doing the same. Like where the fuck you going to go? One foot to the left? Just, why? I'm chillin.
I stand up to stretch my muscles, mostly.
You can stand during the flight?
Not if you're in a middle or window seat. It's kinda rude to make one or two people constantly get up and down.
This is why I only book aisle seats. I have more leg room and I can stand up ad sit down quickly without disturbing others in my row.
Short-haul: window seat for the view. Long-haul: aisle seat for the comfort.
Yeah, no. I'll stand up right away, help people around me reach their luggage, along with getting ours down and prepared to roll. Nobody behind me on the plane is going to appreciate it I'm fumbling around with my bags while they're trying to get off.
I will happily defend you on this point. Down vote away people. As long as you don't shove past the rows in front of you or bonk me with luggage, we good. I try to remember the passengers who had to store luggage father back and see if I can get it passed forward. I will totally boss people to sit back down if someone needs to get to the front ASAP due to close connections. If it is going to be a while, I will try to grab my backpack and sit back down.
Now, people with oversized rollerboards? Yeah. I get pretty irritated over that and the vast number of issues that causes with boarding and deplaning. The airlines make it worse with price hikes. I personally check all of my luggage and rarely run into issues. If I have any major concerns I will throw a couple things into a bag that will fit under my seat or FedEx it if we are really going there.
