August Abbott, an etiquette expert in California, US, observes that disembarking can be as chaotic as boarding. "It's regrettable to see typically thoughtful people lose patience and act instinctively, scrambling for an advantage at the last minute," she said.

International etiquette experts advise on the most impolite behaviors when leaving a plane:

Cutting in line before it's your turn

Diane Gottsman, an etiquette expert in Texas, US, states that waiting your turn is a fundamental display of courtesy.

Passengers who jump up as soon as the plane touches the jet bridge, rushing into the aisle before the rows ahead have moved, are often mockingly called "aisle lice". Gottsman reminds passengers that they are not the only ones in a hurry. If you have a tight connection, others likely do too.

"Wait for the row in front of you to move before standing up. Standing when there's an open space is acceptable, but pushing into an already crowded aisle is not," added Jodi RR Smith, president of a US etiquette consulting firm.

Ignoring flight attendant instructions

When flights are delayed, crew members often ask passengers to yield the aisle to those with urgent connecting flights. However, many deliberately ignore this request.

According to Smith, this is a common discourtesy. The minimum kindness in such a situation is to remain seated, allowing those in a hurry to disembark first.

Lack of preparation, blocking the aisle

Rummaging for your phone, water bottle, or gathering personal items only when it's your turn to move is a common frustration for those behind you.

Nick Leighton, an etiquette expert in New York, advises passengers to check seat pockets and bags and have personal items ready as soon as the plane lands. Standing in the middle of the aisle just to find items wastes everyone's time.

Retrieving luggage at the wrong time and bumping into others

Attempting to retrieve luggage from the overhead bin when the aisle is still crowded is a nuisance. You should patiently wait until there is enough safe space to lower your suitcase without bumping into others.

Additionally, expert Jodi RR Smith emphasizes that wearing a backpack on your shoulder in a narrow aisle will almost certainly hit the face or body of seated passengers. The correct behavior is to carry your backpack in front of your chest or keep it low until you are off the plane.

Littering

An airplane is not a personal trash can. If you miss the flight attendant's final trash collection, passengers should not leave empty bottles, tissues, or leftover food at their seats.

According to Smith, folding up armrests, opening window shades, re-fastening seatbelts, and taking your trash with you are small actions that show civility and help the crew clean up faster.

Complaining instead of helping

August Abbott believes one of the rudest behaviors is to stand around complaining and getting irritable when others are struggling with their carry-on luggage.

"Is getting angry truly easier than being kind?" she asked. Instead of complaining, if you are able, offer to help or find someone who can assist to ensure a smoother disembarking process.
