I remembered this morning that my phone was still off (and we came home on thursday!)

Yep, the plane is still taxiing to its final place and people are already swinging bags into your face (one reason I always want to sit near the window).

Perhaps that's why it's violated so often! It's not as if you're going to get off the plane any quicker. If I'm going to pay so much money, I'm going to sit as long as I can! At least once the sign is off I can turn on my e-reader!

When we landed in Malaga, we just sat there and waited till the plane was almost empty. We were in the back and there was only an exit in front. In Bremen, both the front and back were opened and we got out a bit earlier.
Often you're way ahead of your luggage anyway, so why the rush?
