Would you fork out extra cash to exit a plane first? Half of the 2300 passengers surveyed by FlightView, an app to track American flights, are willing to be charged extra to get off the plane first.South African fliers already pay an extra fee to sit closest to the exit on some flights but being among the first to leave the plane is not guaranteed.Thompsons Holidays spokesman John Ridler yesterday said the added service of paying a fee to leave an aircraft first was unlikely to be introduced in South Africa.Said Ridler: "This would cause mayhem and I can even see fist fights developing."Businessmen are the worst culprits. Rules are scorned, seat belts unfastened, luggage racks opened and cellphones engaged - all while the plane heads for the terminal."Ridler's tip for a quick getaway in economy class was: "Pre-seat yourself on the aisle as close to the front as possible. Make sure you have your briefcase on hand and then slip your seatbelt off before the plane finally docks (against all rules)."The rest is up to your own agility but, in my experience, I usually meet up with the hasty guys on the transfer bus or at the car rental counter, so not much is gained."Shaun Pozyn, spokesman for kulula, said the old saying "time is money" is particularly important for business travellers.In June, kulula introduced pre-paid seating whereby passengers pay between R50 and R120 extra for seats closer to the front or the exits of the aircraft.The FlightView survey found that American fliers are also willing to pay extra for in-flight services such as Wi-Fi with streaming capability, real-time tracking of luggage, in-seat charging stations for electronics, and on-board texting.Would South African fliers fork out extra for better in-flight meals?According to Ridler, no.He said: "I think the average passenger has been spoilt by our upgraded airports with excellent coffee shops and eateries and doubt if they care too much about the food on domestic flights."Many businessmen and elite card holders have access to the private lounges for a quick drink and snack before their flights."The food on international flights is usually not too bad and you can always drown your sorrows in a bottle of red wine."..
