And then they run out of overhead room, so they check your bag for free anyway.

So they miss out on the revenue, slow things down, and add logistical complexity to a process that is already notorious for losing track of critical items.

And what if your first flight gets delayed by several hours for any number of reasons?

I'm with you. Shitty ass airlines sometimes will force you to check your bag, and I even recently had them do this when the overhead bins remained half empty. Infuriating!

Thank you. I had to look it up:

At the risk of sounding boomer despite not being boomer, have others noted a decline in basic decency with deplaning? In the past maybe two years or so even I've never seen so many people from the back of the plane rush ahead into the aisle blocking people in front of them from getting out and disrupting the hell out of the standard row by row front to back organized way to get off a plane. Last. Flight I took when I got into the tunnel some lunatic behind me tried to trample me, stepped on the heel of my shoe and ripped my shoe off. Not even a "sorry"
Modern air travel is the epitome of enshitification.

Nah y'all just don't hustle enough.

But but but they have a small child- lame excuse for lame breeders, get out the way.

This only includes the people with a carry-on though.

Unless I have a connecting flight, I also am usually pretty relaxed in getting off the plane. I'll allow other people to get off before me (unless I'm blocking someone else in my row) and I generally don't rush.

That said, when I am ready to get off the plane, I get off the fucking plane. I don't take my time, I don't rummage around. I make sure I know what I need to grab, and prep as much as I can before hand. Either wait in your seat, or get off the plane.

Yes it's insane. I was on a flight recently, we got in 15 minutes early and the flight attendant came over the PA asking to let people with tight connections off first. I was bewildered, we're 15 minutes early, just deplane like normal. I didn't have a connection, but I do have things in my life I need to attend to.

Don’t do that. Don’t be the dickhead who stands and blocks everyone.

Sir/ma'am, this is the internet. We can write long comments but no one is going to listen to us irl.

For what it's worth, I agree with the sentiment of your post.

Not everyone books their own flights. When I traveled for work the executive assistant booked ours. She tried to give us long enough layovers, but it's not always an option.

This is the way to think about it. Maybe a little less condescending, but que sera. I do everything I can to be on time, and I'm early 99% of the time, and so if shit happens and I'm caused to be late, through either my own fault or that of others, que sera. I'll notify whoever needs notifying and just go along.

Shit happens. And shit compounds shit. I refuse to stress over it and make everything worse.

But over all it's good if people hate flying since we are not supposed to fly anyway. Yay!

They only run out of overhead room because dickbags put a carry-on and their personal item in the bin. Your personal item goes under the seat.

Honestly i just want to stand after a long flight. I do not fit well in the seats, my shoulders are significantly wider than the seats. If I end up in a middle seat I have to roll my shoulders in. If I'm in an aisle or window seat I have to lean away from the other person. Not comfy

Those islands have different rules. Longest I've ever waited for bags

I'm guessing the work travel involved merchandise they couldn't put in a carryon, either due to size or other factors.

I fly several times a year and haven't really noticed that? I usually sit towards the back anyways though.

I just assume that deplaning is not happening until people 2 rows ahead stand up to grab their carryons. Everything before that is part of the flight experience.

Zero stress.

I mean, imo we should all collectively decide to deboard from in to out, not row by row. Makes way more sense, since two columns can stand up and grab their bags from the overhead, then two whole columns just walk off the plane. As it is, literally the whole plane is blocked from exiting by every single row as they stand there struggling to get their bags free.

If you have a kid with you, or some other circumstance like that, sure, take them with you. But for everyone else deplaning by column makes a ton more sense.
