Airline launches strict policy that impose hefty fine on travelers who rush off the plane too quickly

It pays to be patient

An airline has introduced fines for passengers who rush off the plane too quickly.

Some passengers are facing stricter baggage policies from some airlines this holiday season, while others are receiving free Wi-Fi and Elon Musk's Starlink feature on their flights.

Either way, it's important to know travelling tricks and hacks, like the three-hour delay loophole or the latest ID requirements, that can make your journey smoother. Or at least keep you out of trouble.

And honestly, after a long haul, all you want to do is get off the plane as quickly as possible and beat the queue at security. Once you arrive at your hotel or Airbnb, your holiday can officially begin.

And you've probably seen yourself, it's a common habit among airlines. Once the wheels barely touch the ground, flight attendants are repeatedly asking passengers to stay seated.

However, this may not be an option for you if you're thinking of heading to Turkey any time soon.

A new policy now means passengers who get up before the plane is parked may be fined up to $70 (£52).

Turkey’s Civil Aviation Authority is cracking down on impatient passengers who try to rush to the aisle before the plane has fully stopped and reached the gate.

“Despite announcements informing passengers of the rules, many are standing up before the aircraft reaches its parking positions and before the seat belt sign is turned off,” the aviation authority noted. “This behaviour compromises the safety of passengers and baggage, disregards the satisfaction and exit priority of other travellers."

According to the policy, airline staff are 'obliged to remind passengers to fasten their seatbelts during and after landing until they reach the parking position,' the German DPA news agency reported.

Additionally, the staff must 'explicitly point out that any infringement will be reported to the aviation authority, and a fine will be imposed.'

So, if you're heading to Turkey, make sure to remain seated only after the plane has come to a complete stop and the staff has permitted you to do so.

Unsurprisingly, this isn't the only passenger habit that annoys flight crews.

Many airline crew and travellers have taken to social media to vent about other in-flight taboos, such as going to the bathroom barefoot or wearing shorts on a plane. Meanwhile, travellers thinking about heading to the US should become familiar with the recent US border control's statement regarding phone privacy and social media.
