My legs hurt
If I need to stand in this situation, I don't open the bin, and I don't skip the line. Just stand; everyone else in your row can relax their elbows a bit.
However, there are people who need to make connections, and not everyone gives themselves a lot of time to cross the airport, hit the head, and grab some food on the way. There are definitely asshole travelers, but I try to give my fellow sufferers a benefit of a doubt.
The common enemy are the airlines; don't let them divide us.
Yup. Airports are one of the few places where I fully grant benefit of the doubt to anyone rushing
This. I know I'm not going anywhere, I just want to stand for the next ten minutes.
This is me sometimes
I'm probably standing up because I've been sitting down for hours—I'm quite tall and broad, so even in the extra legroom seats, I'm usually at some level of discomfort.
Also I've often got a load of shit to put back in my bag, nice to get that done before I start moving. Plus, I always get the aisle seat, so I'm getting out of the way for others that want to do the same.
Yup, I’m just over 1.9m and have been sitting like a pretzel for the last 4 hours. And even when I stand I usually need to tilt my head a little in and A320/737 or smaller.
I've been sitting down for hours. I really want to stand up and mind my own fucking business.
Stretching
Bruh airline seats hurt to sit in for hours at a time. At least in economy class they really didnt make any decisions with passenger comfort in mind.
Ever torn between wanting to stand and stretch and not wanting to be standing hunched over cause I'm a tall bitch
It's so that they can get ahead of the three people sitting in the seats next to them and then proceed to walk at snails pace to border control and bagged reclaim. I stay seated and conserve my energy to power walk past them all. Mwahahahahaha!
Sone of us got ants in our pants and gotta move
aka circulation issues?
More like billions of years of evolution baked into us that tells us to move
Hurry up and wait!!
My redditor in christ, what's the deal with airplane food?
My sibling in christ we are on lemmy, not r*ddit
I'm aware, then why is everyone copying reddit speech and comments and even subreddits to the dot? Standing up in airplane humor in 2025?
Depending on the time of day my airline feeds me charcuterie, muffins and warm cookies, sandwiches, and snacks and drinks.
Fuck all the other airlines, Air North is top boss.
I sat in the aisle seat and I have no luggage in the overhead compartment so I am getting my place in line in front of the people who have to go back six rows to get their luggage because they're too cheap to check their shit.
I have sciatic nerve pain that occasionally flairs up while sitting in those uncomfortable seats for hours. I'm standing immediately to stretch a bit, that's also why I always try to get an aisle seat
Try riding a bus. Even worse. Absolute chaos.
