I have sciatic nerve pain that occasionally flairs up while sitting in those uncomfortable seats for hours. I’m standing immediately to stretch a bit, that’s also why I always try to get an aisle seat
Why does anyone care about this? Standing up doesn’t affect anyone else
Ever torn between wanting to stand and stretch and not wanting to be standing hunched over cause I’m a tall bitch
I’ve been sitting down for hours. I really want to stand up and mind my own fucking business.
Bruh airline seats hurt to sit in for hours at a time. At least in economy class they really didnt make any decisions with passenger comfort in mind.
My legs hurt
If I need to stand in this situation, I don’t open the bin, and I don’t skip the line. Just stand; everyone else in your row can relax their elbows a bit.
However, there are people who need to make connections, and not everyone gives themselves a lot of time to cross the airport, hit the head, and grab some food on the way. There are definitely asshole travelers, but I try to give my fellow sufferers a benefit of a doubt.
The common enemy are the airlines; don’t let them divide us.
Yup. Airports are one of the few places where I fully grant benefit of the doubt to anyone rushing
And my knees
My neck, my back…
My bussy and my crack
This. I know I’m not going anywhere, I just want to stand for the next ten minutes.
This is me sometimes
I’m probably standing up because I’ve been sitting down for hours—I’m quite tall and broad, so even in the extra legroom seats, I’m usually at some level of discomfort.
Also I’ve often got a load of shit to put back in my bag, nice to get that done before I start moving. Plus, I always get the aisle seat, so I’m getting out of the way for others that want to do the same.
Yup, I’m just over 1.9m and have been sitting like a pretzel for the last 4 hours. And even when I stand I usually need to tilt my head a little in and A320/737 or smaller.
Stretching
It’s healthy to move
Sone of us got ants in our pants and gotta move
aka circulation issues?
More like billions of years of evolution baked into us that tells us to move
You ever travel alone with just a backpack, and jump up and run to the front before the light turns off?
Me neither, I’ll wait till the people behind me are all off playing my video games for a few more moments.
Varies for me, I’m chill when I’m coming back home, but going to third countries where the front or back of the passport queue is 15 mins or 45 mins wait, best believe I’m getting off asap
Try riding a bus. Even worse. Absolute chaos.
Buses are a myth.
Why yes I am an American, why do you ask?
When I say ‘choo choo’ you say ‘[unstoppable sobbing]’
choo choo
It’s so that they can get ahead of the three people sitting in the seats next to them and then proceed to walk at snails pace to border control and bagged reclaim. I stay seated and conserve my energy to power walk past them all. Mwahahahahaha!
Getting out via the back, my inexperienced sister in flight.
Yeah except when most of the flights only let you go out through the front.
I fly twice a month, in a lovely 737, always get out from the back.
Never been allowed to disembark from the rear hatch even if there was one. The umbilical is always attached to the front.
Stairs for us plebs, front and back
SXM, front and back, down the stairs and onto a bus to the terminal.
This all depends on the slot of the plane. If it’s directly connected to the terminal, you can exit from the front only. If it’s free standing and you need to walk over the tarmac or take a bus to the terminal, you can disembark from the rear because then they will open the rear exit as well. Ironically this means that with budget flights you disembark faster because they don’t tend to pay for the premium slots that are directly at a terminal.
The type of plane, whether it’s a 737 or A320 or whatever, rarely matters.
Depends who you fly with and from which airport.
I cannot remember the last time I exited through the back. I have not flown as much but for the last 10 years about 4-6 flights per year and I think I went out the back maybe once in Greece. But I am not sure might just be misremebering.
You must not fly Ryanair
Not often no. As I said most of the flights were longer ones.
Was first one out last time, second one time before, all via the back. All within Europe
Lucky you. Maybe that’s more common if you fly smaller airports and planes and exit via the stairs and not the tinnel thingie.
Hurry up and wait!!
