It's no fun standing squished in a queue with a baby and for that reason we always wait until the plane is almost empty before getting up from our seats. You are more likely to be able to get assistance from the cabin crew if you are one of the last off the plane (as they want to get off themselves) and it gives you a better chance of rounding up loose items without being bumped into or pressured to move out of the way. It also gives ground staff time to bring your stroller up from the plane's hold if you asked for gate delivery.
Of course, if you don't have the luxury of time because you have a connecting flight then you should have everything ready and join the swarming masses in the queues. Unfortunately not everyone is mindful of small children and it can get quite pushy - so it's usually best to carry toddlers until you get out to the main area of the airport. Author: FWB |
