A common mistake tourists make when boarding a plane has been revealed by a British pilot. Because of it, the landing process takes much longer, he claims. Day.Az with reference to Tourprom.ru.
“When your flight is announced as coming in, resist the urge to get up and immediately queue up to get off. In the past, people generally stayed in their seats until they were called a row or zone. These days, when the first bell is announced before boarding, two hundred people immediately stand up and form a crowd, blocking the path of those passengers whose zones really should exit first. People are forced to literally push their elbows forward. This is crazy, and there is no need for this. Standing in line will not speed up the exit from the cabin. On the contrary, it increases the already tedious process of waiting,” pilot Patrick Smith was quoted as saying by the Express portal. By the way, this habit is also characteristic of Russian tourists.
According to the expert, the tedious process of leaving the cabin of an airliner can take even longer if passengers are in a hurry to leave the flight. The same thing happens before takeoff: the desire to quickly take a seat leads to chaos and a delayed takeoff.
It is known that on many airlines passengers are allocated zones on the plane, depending on where the seat is located. The airport staff then calls passengers to boarding zones to try and streamline the exit process. As for the low-cost airlines, the cabins of some of them look like bazaars – crowds of passengers worry that if they do not sit first, there will be no room in the upper lockers for their suitcase.
In conclusion, the specialist urged travelers to proceed from the principles of reasonableness and respect both when entering the aircraft cabin and when leaving.
