    +1 You're 6'3 and blood stopped circulating in your leg somewhere over Dusseldorf.

    Yes but now you get to stand there hunched under the overhead bins

    I never thought I'd experience this. But I was on a short flight that was an hour long. So I was in what I call the tuna can plane. The small city hopper type. When we were getting off the plane, I stood up and full force twatted my head off the overhead bins.
    I'm 5 foot... I dunno what dazed me more, the shock or the smack on the head. Lmfao.

    Guarantee it happens again when I take that flight soon.

    A second reasonable case is when entering US feom abroad. Passport check at Ohare is slooooooow, so I always make an effort to get there before most others. I usually don't care about exiting plane early, but I do care about maximizing the time spent drinking beer in a lounge, compared to standing in line.

    I often fly from Europe to Houston via Chicago, and how early I get out of the transatlantic flight can mean up to 90 minutes less queuing.

    Guessing you’re not American. Having Global Entry makes O’Hare a breeze. Usually through passport control in 2-3 minutes.

    Correct. I don't qualify for global entry, but i do have a TWIC which allows me TSA Prescreened as a known traveler, at least.

    Yeah I’ve seen them short change the number of officers in the non-American lines, it’s just stupid. And they haven’t moved to digital processing of foreigners like London does.

    Yeah, when I have a tight connecting flight, I just stand up and push past everyone else. Airlines like United will often get on the intercom and encourage people to let folks with connections go forward. No need to be pushy in these scenarios. Delta never seemed to care though, despite requesting that the stewardess make an announcement to ask people to let us through, and so I take matters in to my own hands.
