随着和航空公司进一步挤压位置，这使得走廊变得更拥挤，让人获得幽闭恐惧。因此也不奇怪了，旅行者下飞机的时候都是尽可能快。对于某些人而言，这意味着从座位上跳起来，从头顶上拿下他们的行李，与此同时，飞机可能还在被征税。

这类事情别再土耳其尝试。

这个国家曾说，计划针对个人罚款，这些人忽略了这些乘客指南，因为他们离开位子太快了。“这些先前措施都会考虑，如果有人在飞机停止之前就站起来开始走动。”Ahmet Bolat 说到，他是土耳其航空的主席，该国的主要航空服务商。“在我们理解这些人之前，现在这都是缓解机舱工作人员压力的措施。这是法律。”

过去半个世纪，航空公司监管人员已然在法规上定法规，使得航班更加安全。过去的时候，你甚至可以在飞机上点燃香烟，或者随意地在自己的行李里携带红酒，或者在 30000 英里高空上和驾驶员聊天。忽略乘客指南的代价，可能会被拒载，或者直接被航空公司拒绝。极端情况下，航空公司自己罚乘客，甚至是刑事起诉。但是，土耳其是首个专门设置法案来惩罚落地前提前离座的乘客的。

在颠簸的飞机上会被罚多少，或者航空公司执行这些法案的时候有多严格，是不确定的。这项法案今年 5 月生效，Bolat 说到，航空公司和监管者正在找出程序。但是近几年，不守规矩的旅行者越发成为问题，总是把飞行人员或者大众乘客的生活搞得很混乱。国际空中交通委员会说到，新冠疫情以来不合适的行为已然减少了，最近数据显示，2023年 480 场飞行有一个乘客表现不合适，而这个数据在以前是 568 场飞行才出现一例。

社交媒体总是充满了嚎叫、殴打、辱骂的乘客视频，他们的这些滑稽瞬间被拍下来，还被周围目瞪口呆旁观者放到网上。新规则给到航空公司另一个工具，用于控制乘客行为：并没有简单地说‘请系好安全带’Bolat 说到，飞行工作人员现在可以说到，‘如果你这么干，你会被罚款。这更有力量’。

关于“把自己绑在座位上”这件事去年引起关注，此前因飞行中的风暴（使人们）危险感剧增。2024 年 5 月，一架来自英国伦敦的新加坡航空的飞机，遇到了强对流，一个乘客去世，该航空公司的积分被损伤了。自从那时候起，有些航空公司开启“保持系好安全带”的提示，在整场飞行中亮着，尽管至今为止，没有任何一家航空公司开启威胁性罚款的。

当然，很多让乘客愤怒的意外由酒精导致，因此一家大型欧洲廉价航空公司 Ryanair 提出另一个想法，在飞机场出售酒宴，使得他们在登机之前不浪费。这场活动已然遇阻，主要大城市区镇的人阻碍，因其可能失去业务。Ryanair 的老板，Michael Leary 倡议说，在机场的酒吧顶多只能喝两种酒，机场人员在确认登机牌的时候，要保证这些喝酒的人不是从大厅酒吧爬到飞机上的。

当然，如果在登机前喝点酒，可能在降落的时候还在睡觉 —— 以及还坐在座位上直到舱门打开。

As airlines squeeze ever more seats into their cabins, those narrow metal tubes can feel positively claustrophobic. So it’s little wonder that travelers want to deplane as quickly as possible. For some, that means jumping up and fetching their bag from the overhead bin while the aircraft is still taxiing.

Don’t try it in Turkey.

The country says it’s planning to fine individuals who ignore flight attendants’ instructions by leaving their seats too soon. “We take all these precautions, and one guy just gets up, starts walking before the aircraft stops,” says Ahmet Bolat, chairman of Turkish Airlines, the nation’s dominant carrier. “Before we were just depending on the understanding of the guy. Now it’ll alleviate the burden on the cabin crew. It’s law.”

Over the past half-century, airlines and aviation regulators have piled rule upon rule to make flying safer. Gone are the days you could light up a cigarette anywhere on a plane, freely pack bottles of wine or whisky in your carry-on or wander into the cockpit for a chat with the pilot at 30,000 feet. The cost of ignoring flight attendants’ orders can be a ban from that carrier or from flying at all and, in extreme cases, civil penalties and even criminal prosecution. But Turkey is the first to specifically threaten penalties for passengers who leave their seat early.

It’s unclear how much a jumpy voyager might be fined or how strict airlines will be in enforcing the rule. The law went into effect in May, and Bolat says the airline and regulators are working out the procedures. But unruly travelers have been a growing problem in recent years, often making life hell for flight attendants and fellow passengers alike. The International Air Transport Association says misbehavior has jumped since the Covid-19 pandemic, with its most recent data showing passengers disrupted 1 in every 480 flights in 2023 versus 1 in 568 flights the year before.

Social media channels are full of videos of screaming, punching and cursing travelers, their antics filmed and posted by stunned onlookers. The new rule gives airlines another tool for controlling passengers: Instead of simply saying, “Please keep your belt on,” Bolat says, flight attendants can now say, “‘If you do it, you’ll be fined.’ This gives it more weight.”

The issue of remaining strapped into your seat came into focus last year after a spurt of dangerous midflight tempests. A Singapore Airlines plane coming from London in May 2024 encountered turbulence so strong that one passenger died and scores were injured. Since then, some carriers have started keeping their “Fasten Seatbelt” signs illuminated throughout the entire flight, though so far none has threatened fines for disobedience.

Of course, many incidents of air passenger rage are fueled by alcohol, so Ryanair, the giant European low-cost carrier, has another idea: restrict the sale of booze at airports to keep travelers from getting wasted before they even board. The campaign has met resistance from airport watering holes, which fear losing business. Ryanair’s boss, Michael O’Leary, has advocated a two-drink limit at bars in the terminal, with servers stamping boarding passes to keep partying passengers from doing a concourse pub crawl.

Of course, if passengers have a few drinks before boarding, they might sleep through the landing—and stay in their seats until the plane doors open.
