The term “aisle lice” has emerged to describe passengers who rush to disembark immediately after a plane lands, often causing chaos and frustration among fellow travelers. This behavior has become a significant topic of discussion on social media platforms and forums like Reddit, where users share experiences and express annoyance toward those who push their way off the plane first.
Previously, “gate lice” referred to individuals who attempt to board planes out of turn, prompting airlines to implement measures such as rejecting boarding passes if passengers try to board before their zone is called. However, the issue of “aisle lice” appears to be increasing, with many travelers feeling even more inconvenienced by this behavior.
The growing prevalence of such actions has led to widespread calls for better passenger etiquette and potential airline interventions to maintain order during disembarkation.
