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.

[–] zxqwas@lemmy.world 34 points 8 hours ago

I've been sitting down for hours. I really want to stand up and mind my own fucking business.

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

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.

My bussy and my crack

[–] zurohki@aussie.zone 16 points 13 hours ago

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.

My redditor in christ, what's the deal with airplane food?

[–] jia_tan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

My sibling in christ we are on lemmy, not r*ddit

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 4 points 9 hours ago

I'm aware, then why is everyone copying reddit speech and comments and even subreddits to the dot? Standing up in airplane humor in 2025?

[–] Grimtuck@lemmy.world 13 points 15 hours ago

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!

[–] miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 13 hours ago

Hurry up and wait!!

[–] Nanook@lemm.ee 11 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Getting out via the back, my inexperienced sister in flight.

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 13 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah except when most of the flights only let you go out through the front.

[–] Nanook@lemm.ee 3 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

I fly twice a month, in a lovely 737, always get out from the back.

[–] RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com 12 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Never been allowed to disembark from the rear hatch even if there was one. The umbilical is always attached to the front.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 2 points 11 hours ago

SXM, front and back, down the stairs and onto a bus to the terminal.

[–] Nanook@lemm.ee 1 points 12 hours ago

Stairs for us plebs, front and back

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Nanook@lemm.ee 0 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Was first one out last time, second one time before, all via the back. All within Europe

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 6 points 10 hours ago

Lucky you. Maybe that's more common if you fly smaller airports and planes and exit via the stairs and not the tinnel thingie.

[–] Pringles@lemm.ee 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Nanook@lemm.ee 2 points 10 hours ago

Depends who you fly with and from which airport.

[–] wetbeardhairs@lemmy.dbzer0.com -3 points 8 hours ago

I sat in the aisle seat and I have no luggage in the overhead compartment so I am getting my place in line in front of the people who have to go back six rows to get their luggage because they're too cheap to check their shit.
