People are posting videos on social media to shame airline passengers who don’t exit a plane by row.
Earlier this month, Mikayla, who goes by the username @mickeyyyt, posted a now-viral video about the topic, reigniting the ongoing debate about plane etiquette. In the footage, the traveller filmed herself and her friend in their seats, while there was a line of people standing in the aisle next to them. The line of passengers, who were waiting to get off the flight, also appeared to extend towards the back of the plane.
The two women shook their heads at the camera and had a disappointed look on their faces in response to the travellers standing up. She also questioned the passengers who opted to leave their seats before the people seated in front of them had exited.
“Since when did airplane etiquette of getting off the plane row by row end!?!?!” Mikayla wrote in the text over the video.

Other people opened up about their own experiences on flights, and how they’ve opted to exit the plane by row.
“If I am in the aisle, I am the guy that stands as soon as we land,” one person wrote. “And I stay there until the seats in my row empty out and then I go.”
“I have flown eight times since Covid and this is every single flight!” another added. “If I’m on the aisle, I am always putting my arm out and giving the ‘try me’ glare.”
However, other viewers said that, in their experiences, travellers haven’t exited the plane based on rows closest to the exit.
“I have never seen it go row by row. It doesn’t board row by row either. So idk why people expect this. Either push your way in or wait patiently,” one…
