Passenger Blocks Aisle So Daughter Can Deplane First in Viral Video

The Baltimore deplaning standoff highlights growing scrutiny of how crews manage passenger etiquette.

Overview

  • Video from inside the aircraft shows a woman refusing to let others exit, insisting her daughter seated several rows back be allowed to come forward first.
  • Passengers confronted her as a flight attendant stepped in to defuse the standoff, after which the woman moved aside while muttering profanity and the cabin emptied.
  • Multiple outlets and the witness identify the carrier as Frontier Airlines, though at least one report and social posts referenced American Airlines, creating confusion over attribution.
  • The flight had landed in Baltimore, and a witness said the trip was already strained by a three-hour delay before deplaning began.
  • Clips shared on X and Instagram drew millions of views and sharp criticism over travel etiquette, with outlets saying Frontier was asked for comment but no response was included.
