I prefer just letting the plane deplane by rows. I often sit toward the back, and it really is not that much of a wait. 9/10 times the baggage isnt even on the carousel by the time I get there (with a bathroom break on the way.) Nothing more annoying than being told of urgent connections then I see the guy standing in the Tim Hortons line....
