The etiquette for deplaning in the most efficient and respectful manner can be boiled down to a few simple points:
  1. Gather your belongings ahead of time so you're ready to move when given the opportunity.
  2. Take your bags down without blocking traffic in the aisle. Do it either while standing at the aisle seat, or from the aisle if the aisle isn't moving.
  3. Don't stop in the aisle to wait for people who aren't ready. That creates more delays. But...
  4. Don't push or cut off people who are trying to move. That's hostile and doesn't help empty the aircraft any faster.
