Aisle seat stands up to give the other two seats room and get out of their way faster. It's basic courtesy. This isn't complicated.

“I stand because I’m patriotic and I love my country”
haze2893
Idk if it’s because I’m tall, but I do this purely to stretch out after being cramped into a seat for hours on end
Iamyourcaptainnow
You stand up early so you're at the front of the line on immigration. Saved me often half an hour and more.
chylde
I hate when asses from the back stow their bags up front so they don’t have to drag them up and down, then people at the front are screwed
thanatos777
Who the fuck doesn't want to stand after spending two hours in a cramped-add plane seat? Nothing to do with getting off first.
gingen
THIS. I hate when people complain about those that stand up right away. My ass hurts dammit! Gotta stretch!!!
DancingOnTheAshes
Two hours? Oh my sweet summer child...
Yourfavoritebandsucks1974
try 11 hours, in coach, Amsterdam to Cape Town.
PsycheClone
I just wait until everyone is off, why rush and agitate yourself?
IsACouchASeat
All the way across O'hare airport to make a connecting flight? The worst. Atlanta can be bad too.
PsycheClone
Yeah, I've been. Awful.
DinoHunter56
What? You don't want to participate in the rat race to exit the plan? That's uncompetitive! That's communist! THAT'S UNAMERICAN!
WhyILoveYou
Yup. More like PhyKremlin. Ammirite ?!
OdeToBouncer
Rat race to the exit on every airline ever. BA, Lufthansa, Iberia, Turkish Airlines, Etihad, Gulf Air, Egypt Air, you fucking name it.
idkalan
It only really works if you're on the window seat, but middle or end, then you're holding up the line of 2+ on your row
geojustin
I’m already agitated from being stuffed into a tiny ass seat for 2 hours
VizenFatale
Being super tiny has its advantages. Airplanes are more comfortable for me than for my 6'4 husband.
cyanide4u
Better access to taxis, connectors. Combine this with only packing carry-on, and it can shave an hour off your after-flight tribulations
OdeToBouncer
Problem is people bringing carry on's the size of Sherpa backpacks.
cyanide4u
I would think those should be disallowed. I stick to the flight regulations dimensions so I don’t risk my case being bumped...
cyanide4u
...it’s an exercise in discipline being to pack that small and compact
NegativeRealityInversion
Ok what I don't get are the people fighting to get off the plane are the same ones that wanted to be the first ones on.
idontknowthisbaby
My ex was that person. Would speed walk to the plane, completely freaking out even when we had time to spare, and then would curse and 1/2
idontknowthisbaby
shove to be the first off even when we reached the destination and there was no rush. Long story short, we broke up after that trip..
lagavulin16
Yeah, they load planes ass backwards too. Call me from the bar after families and non frequent flyers have already packed it to the back.
combstranger
It's supposed to be an awful experience, that's why they charge extra for priority seating. The plane wouldn't be ready for takeoff -
combstranger
- any faster if they did it efficiently, so they make you funnel in like cattle in the meantime to incentivize first class/priority tickets.
OaksParcel
Because modern air transit is fucking miserable and the faster you can get out of that tin hellhole the better.
EvilCatCreations
I would rather stand at an awkward position than continue to sit after a long flight. My knees will thank me
MemeStealingSkeleton
I do it to stretch my legs since economy seat leg room must have been designed for pygmies. The struggles of being tall i tell ya.
MarcUK
It's to try and exit the plane before other people so you can get to passport control ahead of them. You want to stand behind 200 people?
todayok
Nah, every domestic flight is the same.
PickleRiick
THIS.
SithHaveBetterSex
Every second counts
troubleguy91
Technically, you are correct
GregTheLemons
Is that what your girlfriend keeps telling you?
ciiral
Especially when a line forms quickly and you can't get in, then you'd wish you stood up a second sooner
myfirstaccountwasshadowbanned
Can't count for much if you're on here!
zombiebatman
Yeah we are all dying eventually.
losCHUNK
It's a holiday I paid for, I demand maximum exposure.
belindashort
I have a bad back. If i stand it's because I'm in intense pain
MrSniffles
I just stand up to stretch my legs!
NeatoCompletoDuderino
By the end of a long flight, I got Jimmy kegs like crazy and I need to stand up. Being tall can suck sometimes.
Ambeam
I always admire those people who are like "screw you I'm not getting up until my TV show has finished"
WhyILoveYou
That's a fucking good reason
SterlingDangerZoneArcher
I honestly just like standing up after sitting for so long.
thatsbadmmkay
It feels fucking good to stand up even after only 2hrs of sitting .
WhoShotMeInTheHead
It's because it gets tight and if you don't exit the row, people will rarely let you get up and take your overhead baggage 1/2
JanaJustinsdottir
Do that in your seat space, there is more than enough room even on small planes and you re not trapping ppl behind you
WhoShotMeInTheHead
My anxiety doesn't let me force myself and block 100 people for 10 seconds while taking my backpack, so I try to stand up ASAP 2/2
Individualsocksinthewashingmachine
I find it quite relaxing staying in my seat when people do that. Also people look at you as if you're crazy. Highly recommend
Aylasita
This. It's so much more relaxing, same with boarding, why get up and stand in the long queue. People stress too much.
[deleted]
[deleted]
Individualsocksinthewashingmachine
You're not getting off any faster by standing up and fannying about lol
todayok
"let you"??? wtf? Anyhow instead you just pull your crap out of the bin dropping it on the heads of sitting people. Good on ya. Cheers.
YoGabbaGabby
I know one time I tried to get up to get my friends overhead luggage and some guy pushed back into my seat to get his
DickRogers
Thats why you dont bring overhead luggage
Sprinx
Only bring overhead luggage.
Sm9yCg
You only bring carry-on bags. That way you can go straight to the exit after disembarking quickly and not have to wait for baggage retreival
DickRogers
I just wear a small backpack and put it under my seat. I like to travel lite. Diet coke, lite.
Bwentos
What I hate are the asses that stow their carry on at the front of the plain when they are sitting in the back.
Bwentos
Almost missed a connection because I had put my stuff near the very back of the plane and wait for everyone to exit before I could get it.
Notaninterestingusername
I sometimes do that because by the time I get to the back of the plane, there is no overhead space left.
Notaninterestingusername
I don't board with Premier, Diamond, Sapphire, Holders of their special double platinum card, Premium, Extra Double Secret Premier...
Notaninterestingusername
So I end up being one of the last to board.
Notaninterestingusername
Take whatever overhead space is available, so I don't have to force my way back down the aisle.
Sm9yCg
Most do that because asses take more than the strictly allowed carryon and stewards need to put their luggage where room is.
JanaJustinsdottir
Like ppl who aren t sitting in your row putting their shit over your seat, like their fucking coats
Sm9yCg
You put stuff where there is room. It's not your property.
JanaJustinsdottir
It s an organizational system that makes getting on & off planes faster.Not following it is not theft but grossly inconsiderate and selfish
JanaJustinsdottir
The only person who should be placing items out of designated compartments are the attendants
Sm9yCg
Good luck in the Real World.
squirreltactics
I'm 6'1". I stand up because my knees are in someones back.
todayok
Those are two measurements for him. Not very tall and sorry for your loss.
bustosoon
Lol that’s not tall silly
squirreltactics
Tall enough that airplanes are not accommodated for me.
xxjabberwocky
I do it because plane seating really messes up my back and my knees so it feels good to stand up after a flight
Rkfinecake
I get a bit claustrophobic with people standing over me.
marsgoose
Eh just assume they really need to take a shit, the world will be a better place.
ayashi
This is an epidemic in Chicago, O'Hare specifically. It's like racing to the red light. I hate them all.
imstormtrooper
Up yours I’m stretching my legs.
live2thrill
Is it just me or is it elderly people that are the worse for this?
Aylasita
They're in a hurry, they have less time left.
belindashort
I'm not elderly but from experience a bad back and bad hips on a plane is the stuff of nightmares
WhyILoveYou
I thought they just sit there and wait
commentsivehadafew
Some do it to exit more quickly, but with cramped seating, standing after 2+ hours feels pretty good.
Ryanator50
yeah but you'd be standing still. I'd rather be walking or sitting than standing still.
MrBammo
Try 13 hours
Doctadeth
Try after 18 hours.....CRAAAAAAAAAAAAMP
keyserv
What if somebody hates almost everything about air travel like me?
bigeasy44
Is one of the aspects you hate being cramped in a small space w/a bunch of other people? Bc standing up in a crowded aisle isn't gonna help.
mineovermatter
Yes,yes it is going to help. How the fuck you know what helps ME? Ffs
openyomind
me too .... I'd rather drive even if it takes days
Juicytoast
My girlfriend wants to take a transatlantic cruise for our honeymoon, just so she doesn't have to fly to Italy.
Fairdinkums
Preach. Thats why i do it, I'm 6'3
palmedace
So now instead of being cramped sitting down you're cramped standing up with your head hitting the overhead storage
Justicator
Me too! 6'1" with 54" chest here.
TraitorousTrump3
My stiff knees beg me to stand up immediately.
GodEmperor0fMankind
My problem is that I'm too damn tall to stand straight up after a flight (I'm usually in a window seat)
diab64
I just hunch over the seat in front of me if there's room. Still better than sitting.
spudpicker
"Is this gonna be one of those Spiderman upside-down kisses?" -Person sitting in front of you.
diab64

PompatusOfLove
Tall man to fellow tall man: aisle seat!
darkmagicisnotcheap
Aisle seats are passable but I am too tall to stand up straight in the middle of most planes. So now if I can drive there in a day, I do.
GodEmperor0fMankind
Emergency seats my dude
torpido
I used to like aisle seat before the stewardess near broke my knee while I was asleep with the damn cart.
kelpo122
I always take Window, but one time I had to take aisle, the damn stewardesses kept hitting me with the carts, couldn't rest in a 11hr flight
KillerTofu615
I'm happy to let everyone grab their things and exit before me, but if I've been on a 4-5 hour flight, my legs are numb and I need to stand.
ChuckMcMuck
The older I get, the more I understand this.
GutsEnjoysABanquet
I'm like 6 something, I cannot handle long flights. My god damn knees ask me to just put them out of their misery.
AdamGenesis
"Some" meaning you too?
KurtHamster
You are allowed to stand while flying
nastywomen
I was on a 7hr flight once and ate an edible. I kept asking the FA if I could go pee w/the seatbelt sign lit. She said "I cannot allow (1)
nastywomen
(2) you to do that." So I was very confused when ppl were up walking around the plane using the restroom. I thought I had to sneak (3)
nastywomen
(4) when she wasn't looking. It seemed to me like we passengers were playing a hiding game of don't get caught by the FA. I was hiiiigh AF.
belindashort
For a short period and many of us do
QuiteADapperAsshole
Yeah, but you kinda need to always be going somewhere or it doesn't feel right.
DonteHaversham
Wait till there's a line for the bathroom, and get in line. That will buy you some time to stretch out your legs
Donttouchthatwithoutgloves
Well if you are will to be physically uncomfortable at the expense of some social discomfort this kinda on you.
FiveShiftOne
Nah, most airlines really don't appreciate you standing up just to stand. It blocks the aisles.
mineovermatter
I do it all the time. They don't give a fuck so long as seatbelt light is off
QuiteADapperAsshole
That's just what I need. Pace the aisles until the sky marshal tackles me for acting suspicious.
ThatTransformersDude
It only works for whoever is in the front, which is why I usually get that A3 Hallway seat.
TheMayorOfTittyCity
But you have been on a plane, not in a car. You can get up and walk around whenever you want.
flowercrab
I’m about to take a 10 hour flight in March. Not excited.
custooom
I have at least four 14 - 16 hour flights per year and it gets worse with every flight. The only plane I ever fell asleep in was the A380.
custooom
Not true, I also fell asleep when departing from Amsterdam... to be honest, I don't remember anything. A miracle I got that flight!
Huntforthegif
But they don't exit more quickly. All they do is become a liability to fall over during taxi to the terminal
sickburn
I've only flown about a hundred times but I've never seen anybody stand up during taxiing who wasn't immediately told to sit.
Huntforthegif
There's usually one or two who stand up like 5 seconds before parking to get their overhead bag and get in the isle
Huntforthegif
Aisle*
iamthisguy247
Yeah, I feel like everyone should exit in the order of seating (front to back), but it's still nice to stand, maybe collect your things.
Thneitis
Some planes (737s) can tip of unloaded incorrectly, fun fact
PoeKneeTa
I've been in enough planes to know the sheer feeling of relaxation from standing up after hours of sitting. Esp. in international flights.
eetsumkaus
it's more collecting things for me. That way when it's my turn to go I just go and don't hold up the back
COLONELSARGE
That's why I like south west. There's an attendant who walks back row by row to do just that.
drunkbs
I think everyone should have to stand up and the back passengers are required to crawl through everyones sweaty legs to the inflatable slide
kelvinbellrose
Why don't they board starting at the back instead of the front? That way you don't have to squeeze past everybody.
Tminus1622d
It's probably faster by column (aisle seat, middle, then window), but as with boarding, the theory is solid but in practice people like to
Tminus1622d
stay with their group, and those tend to sit by row.
nastywomen
except for the fact not everyone has their luggage in the order/row of the seat they are in. That is why people try to get out before them.
Tminus1622d
You missed the boarding by column part didnt you?
mineovermatter
It isn't faster. Lots of testing has been done. Fastest is random.
Sm9yCg
That's because all other systems ignore the individual's preference for disembarking speed. Sometimes simple logic is correct.
Tminus1622d
Maybe a system like the supermarket register queues? It's not as important which is the fastest, it's important that it feels fast to the
LiteralVampirePotBellyGoblins
I stand, but I stay at my seat.
BallsLikeWatermelonsPeckerLikeAThimble
I’ve seen assholes bolt to the front of the plane.
TheGhostofLouReed
All of these things will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
Sm9yCg
Good for them if there is empty space so you don't have to wait longer than needed.
nukethelizards
Genuinely asking, how is that an asshole move? Before the carryons come out, if you have no carryon yourself?
Glassman62
I was on a flight that had medical emergency. People asking if they could get off quick before EMT’s came on board. “No, you can’t!”
chocolatehaze
Why not though? Most modern aircraft have 2 entries/exits, makes no sense to block BOTH when the medical staff will enter&exit through one.
AlkeneThiol

Glassman62
Small plane, exit only in the front and pulled up to gate.

Maybe they had a connecting flight to catch?
LetsplayJustthetip
To the Blue Ridge mountains over near Tennessee

Dares
I'd rather somebody bolt than stand around with their thumb up their arse doing nothing.
JanaJustinsdottir
When your plane is late, and you have to catch your connecting flight and don t want to wait for assholes who stand in the isle to grab...
JanaJustinsdottir
Their overhead luggage like god damn savages instead of in the seat space like a considerate human being? Yes.
ProphetTenebrae
I dare you to say you haven't done this when you've had a connecting flight that was a little TOO close for comfort.
dec9675
I don't even have money for a taxi dude I ain't even been on a plane so I have not done this (I never back down from a dare fam)
Ootandabootehh

DavidBrooker
I have ran across IAH Terminal C with a duffel over my shoulder to make a connection. Still haven't done this.
DavidBrooker
p.s.: thanks United, you pricks
whyisitalwaystaken
I was sitting aisle one time. Lady in window asked to squeeze through stating her connection was in an hour. I let her through but added 1/2
whyisitalwaystaken
Mine is in 5 minutes, good luck. 2/2
RockMeLikeASugarcane
I had a woman literally climb over my lap so she could get to her bus on time. I shot her the dirtiest look I could from my middle seat.
GODDAMNlT
connections are the one time it doesn't bother me if people are trying to get to the front. most people have been there at one point
516ox
As someone with more hours than I can count in both military and civilian flights, I don't do this.
SmokedtheChair
i had to run what felt like a mile in 15 minutes Dallas Fort Worth, from one terminal to the other. I didnt know they had a skyrail
StatmanIbrahimovic
Due to delay I was moved flights to one with a 25 minute layover. As we were taxiing they asked everyone to stay sat down to let us 20 off
Micknouillen
That's fine if the crew mentions it I guess
MyNameIsBlahblahblah
It helps if you let us know your concerns. Ground control will hold the connecting flights if there’s a big group (or you’re nice.)
AlwaysandEventuallyHannah
I was on a connecting flight in the same plane one time. They let me just hang out there until it took off again
iswearmylastnameisntracist
This has happened to me once also. They told me I could get off if I wanted but I stayed. It was just me and the cleaning crew. It was weird
slack3rdav3
That's happened to me only 1x and ive flown a shit ton. it was so weird

ImThatGuyForSure
Did this happen to be a few days ago flying from Victoria to Calgary? Literally this exact same thing happened to me.
LiteralNazi
Victoria has an airport? I want to take a vacation there, seems like a neat place. Also the comic book store is semi-internet-famous.
ImThatGuyForSure
The airport is actually in Sidney, which is a half hour drive or hour long bus ride away from DT Victoria. Victoria is a cool city though 1/
ImThatGuyForSure
Its a beautiful city with lots of good restaurants,great hiking/biking/outdoor sports and a lot of cool places to walk around and check out

If I miss it, I miss it. But I’m usually on business travel. If this was personal travel I may act differently.
JHawke
Nop, if I then miss my connection I will simply whine with whatever company I got my ticket from until they get me another flight.
overlordchris666
I can say I haven't done this. Just takes one incident for you to understand why they say "Remain Seated" until at the gate:
FiveShiftOne
I mean, I suspect it means as soon as the light is off rather than as soon as it actually lands. I never see people stand before docking.
overlordchris666
I've watched them undo the belts as soon as existing the runway. Then standing getting bags while on the taxi way on the way to the gate.
slack3rdav3
I've seen it happen a few times in asian countries. Still taxiing to the gate and people are standing gettting their bags n shit. ridiculous
ThatDarnLobster
That’s because the stewards will unleash hell on you (aka federal police). Never seen a sweet little lady turn into a fierce beast so quick
lagavulin16
+1 for "fierce beast" because it's so damn true.
overlordchris666
https://youtu.be/-PoJgW8y6_k. They'll think twice about it for now on.
Donnicton
I can't imagine how pissed the guys on the maintenance crew had to be. They basically have to check everything on both planes.
overlordchris666
As maintenance, all I was thinking was "Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck" so much to inspect. Also the T-tail is strong.
