Why isnt it standard procedure to have the people with overhead cabin luggage wait untill the other passengers have vacated the aircraft? Thats litterally a few minutes after which the rest of you van fumble bags all you want.

Because it's only a few minutes you're waiting while people fumble?

Don't be poor so you can't buy a seat up front.

Not sure that would be an improvement, since luggage-havers in aisle seats would have to get up to let non-luggage-havers in window seats out and then sit down again. Unless you are proposing that all luggage-havers get window seats.

These are all very good points, I was raging a bit tbh so didnt take the time to think it through, there have to be more efficiënt ways then the current neanderthal **** show tho.

Yak,

I can't really think of many, if any, instances where people getting their carry-ons played much of a part in slowing down the deplaning process.

Yak just wants to go to the front of the line because he's special.

I'm Australian and lived in England for a couple of years. Only ever heard it called a chip butty in England, in Aus we call it a chip sandwich - to be fair though, I've only ever eaten one between two slices of bread, not really on a roll.

Also, I've heard many different variations of 'bread roll.' Butty, bread cake, cob, bap, barm. It varies all over the UK, which I always found quite strange.

This just isnt true and you know it. This however is.

Yak,

It really is. From what I hear, in coach you have 6-10 people per row needing to exit via 1 or 2 single file lines. That's the primary blocking factor.

Are you willing to agree that sometimes the line is blocked by idiots struggling to get their bagage or people standing up and attempting to get their bagage from the overhead compartiment out of order? 99% of cheap/short trip euro planes dont have different classes of travelers (we'll assume its all coach to keep it simple) and do 6 a line max.

Yak,

Sure, but I feel like the majority of the time they end up catching up with the line of people waiting to get off one by one. I don't see a bunch of big gaps between people exiting the plane.

I mean, Ill leave it somewhere in the middle because its not possible to objectively quantify what much of a part would be wrt deplaning and I already admitted my comment was based on rage instead of logical deduction, I just feel like there is still a lot to gain by adjusting the processes without changing the hardware (talking about travel in general).

This is my experience as well. People get their bags down in much less time than it takes just to wait for the people ahead to get off the plane.

Maybe the people I travel with are exceptionally moronic, birds of a feather ...

Favorite part of El D's post.

Literally lold at from what I hear.

Never change diablo.

Maybe you over estimate the time you think you would gain. Not you skipping to the front of the line (Yak goes first would clearly save you time), but if you were in the last row how much faster do you think you would get off if no one had carry on bags?

Again, Im in the wrong and it was a heat of the moment kinda thing. I dont think the total would be much/if any over 5 minutes on a euro sized plane.

Maybe arrive at baggage claim 5 minutes earlier to wait even longer for checked baggage to arrive.

Few people fly without any type of bag.

ElD doesn't even need to try. The slurp factor is too great.

Im with Yak on this, and am honestly shocked anyone would argue otherwise.

Maybe its just cuz I typically sit in the back of the plane, but absolutely 100% people getting their carry ons slows the exit process down and by the time I get my bag and am leaving the plane, its a completely clear isle in front of me and I can briskly walk off the plane. That's pretty much how it is every single time I fly. I can't ever think of a time I got my bag from the over heard bin and then had to stand in line to get off the plane.

That said, I don't really think there is another way to do it.

Getting off the plane to me is a lot like the end of a movie. I never understood the people who the second the screen goes black, they bolt for the door, then have to stand there clogging the isles and exit when it turns out they play something during the credits, or that actually wasnt quite the end of the movie. You just sat their for 2+ hours, whats another minute?

Same with getting off the plane. Once they stop taxiing and the fasten seatbelt sign goes off, the people that bolt up out of their chair to stand there hunched over for 10 minutes braced over their seat while they wait for the dozens of rows in front of them to exit before they can actually get out in the isle and get their **** and exit.

and what's the deal with airplane peanuts?
