"Air travel does not typically bring out the best in people. The stress of tight connections, long lines, cramped cabins and general transit fatigue can push even the calmest travelers to their limits. But that doesn't mean you have to add to the unpleasantness. Indeed, there are many things passengers do that make the flight experience worse for their fellow travelers ― from the airport to boarding and even deplaning."
"On the latter front, the lack of courtesy has gotten particularly dire. "It's like a cattle call to both get on the plane and then get off," said August Abbott, an etiquette expert with JustAnswer. "It's embarrassing to the whole human race to see otherwise caring, helpful and patient people lose all sense of their humanity and seemingly revert to instinctive behavior and act like animals fighting for survival.""
Air travel often heightens stress and leads to inconsiderate behavior among passengers. Crowded gates, tight connections and transit fatigue create conditions for impatience and rudeness. Deplaning has become particularly disorderly, with passengers standing immediately and rushing the aisle. Common rude behaviors include ignoring crew requests to remain seated, assuming others have no connections, and 'aisle lice' rushing. Courteous alternatives are waiting for one's row, allowing those with tight connections to exit first, and respecting crew instructions. Polite, orderly deplaning reduces congestion, preserves dignity and improves the travel experience for everyone.
