This was definitely a DKYWIA trip.

So I’m on my way back a couple of days ago to LHR. I’m in 2E back from JFK, with a woman in 1A who decided to plant herself in the aisle next to me while I am stood in the aisle trying to get my coat on, intent to get off the plane before anyone else in her aisle in F. She is stood firmly in between me, my small trolley in the aisle and the back of seat 2A. It’s a tight spot to decide to wedge yourself into in order to save 2 seconds.

I let her off before me, because I couldn’t care less who gets off first.

I see her at eGates later in lane 3, I’m in lane 1. She tried to race ahead of me only to then stand at the baggage screens to seek out the right carousel. It had been about 10 minutes from getting off the plane to eGates, so I cannot imagine all that rush and huff and puff was worth it.

Anyway I was on the HEX about 8 minutes later as I flew with hand luggage.
