The seats are assigned. People have been standing in line for 15 minutes now. Why on earth would anyone want to stand there, when they could just sit and wait until the line clears?

I understand wanting to get off a plane ASAP, but boarding? You just end up sitting on the plane, waiting for everyone else to get on.

These same people will all stand up at once the moment the plane stops.. and continue to uncomfortably stand there for like twenty minutes.

On my last flight my gf sprung up and was irritated that I wasn't doing the same. Like where the fuck you going to go? One foot to the left? Just, why? I'm chillin.

I stand up to stretch my muscles, mostly.

You can stand during the flight?

[-] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

Not if you're in a middle or window seat. It's kinda rude to make one or two people constantly get up and down.

This is why I only book aisle seats. I have more leg room and I can stand up ad sit down quickly without disturbing others in my row.

Short-haul: window seat for the view. Long-haul: aisle seat for the comfort.
