Meh, as long as you're near the FRONT of that mass of humanity, why does it matter? I'm usually in the first 1/3 of the people off the plane, and by the time I get to customs, I've probably passed at least 30-50% of the people who got off the plane before I did.

When I arrived in NRT both times I went there (aboard a 744), I was probably the 30th to 40th person from that plane arriving at customs. I'd guess I was probably about 60th to 70th off the plane, and I passed at least 30-40 pax in the terminal.
