standard policy….

1. you stay seated until others have left the plane. Then they want to check the thru count matches.
2. thrn you can move and change seats but you generally are not allowed to take the emergrncy exit lanes.
3. you are not allowed to leave the plane.

the only times you are required to leave the plane is if (1) plane change at hub airports, (2) crew change…you stand just outside the gate until new crew comes, and (3) due to flight delays you have gotten “ bumped” from your thru flight.

ivr had all 3 happen to me.
