So your unwillingness to be separated from your partner for 2 minutes should make me miss my connection?

Uh, yeah. 125 people conforming to social norms, thus avoiding arguments and fights, trumps your lack of ability to plan a trip. If your connection is tight due to factors Beyond your control, I'm sympathetic, but guess what? There's probably a bunch of people in The same boat.....so the same norm applies...

To surreal...thanks for asking. Yes, it's incredibly rude. Remember that on some equipment, especially regionals, the window seat passenger can't even stand until the seatmate gets up. For that tight connection, check the actual arrival times of your flight to see if its really as tight as the schedules indicate.

I usually stand in a half crouch, signaling.....I'm trying to get off as quick as I can too...
