Miss Manners: Proper etiquette for handling large carryon bags during disembarking
Jan 18, 2025
DEAR MISS MANNERS: What is the proper etiquette for disembarking a plane when the aisles are full and someone’s bag is several rows behind them? I was getting off a flight when a couple in the row in front of me tried to get other passengers to retrieve their large carry-on bags from the overhead compartments, four rows back, and pass them up to them. When that didn’t happen, the man pushed back through those of us standing in the aisle.
