M’sian Slams Budget Airline Passengers for Rushing to Exit Upon Arrival

Let’s face it, we’ve all either experienced this or been guilty of it. The moment a plane lands, some of us whip out our phones to turn off flight mode, while others jump up and start packing their belongings as if the cabin door is about to open immediately.

Guilty? Well, here’s what one netizen had to say.

“This is the problem when flying with a low-cost carrier—the mentality of rushing to leave the plane even before the crew opens the cabin door.”

He added, “Just how do you expect to deboard the plane? The crew tirelessly reminds passengers to wait until the plane comes to a complete stop and to disembark row by row.”

His rant also included his personal experience during the flight.

“When you do this, you risk hitting other seated passengers with your bags. I’ve flown with Qatar, Emirates, SQ, MH—and it’s never been this bad.”

“Be considerate. Passengers include elderly people, pregnant women, the disabled, and children.”

Netizens were divided in their responses.

“It’s the same on any flight. Sometimes people are rushing to catch their connecting flights.”

A user said, “I used to judge people who did this, until I had just 30 minutes to catch my connecting flight because of a delay.”
