How long does it take passengers to get off a plane once it lands?

I've never flown before so I don't know how the flights work. I'm going to pick my sister up from the airport this afternoon. I'm tracking her flight progress. Now, once her plane lands, about how long will it take her to get off the plane and be at the pick up area for me to pick her up?|||It depends on a couple of things:





%26gt;How big the aircraft is


%26gt;Where she is seating


%26gt;If it's a domestic or international flight


%26gt;Baggage (how much she has)





I go on international flights, so usually in all together it takes about 45 minutes, sometimes even an hour.


Think about if the plane is big, so that means more people to get out, and more baggage. And if the airport is big, she might have to walk from the plane to the baggages which can be on the other side depending where she lands.





Good luck!|||Many factor can alter the time taken, for example;





- How big is the aircraft


- How far away the aircraft is from the main halls


- How long the crew take to open the doors


- Queues at immigration





On a big wide bodied aircraft at a busy international aircraft it can take 1h - 1.5h. If it's an short domestic flight on a single bodied plane it could take up to 1h maximum.





The average length of time for me is 45 minutes.





It may be an idea for your sister to wring you once she has picked up her bags. Your allowed cell phones there, then you can make your way to the arrivals hall.|||It will take about 15 min to get off the plane and at least 20 min to get baggage if she has any, and then for domestic flights, so flights from one usa airport to another usa airport, it will take about 15 min to get from baggage claim to main pick up area. So total it will take about 30 to an hour after the plane lands.|||Depends on where she is on the plane, could be 5-10 minute difference between the front of the plane and the rear of the plane. Also where the gate is.





Another thing to remember is if the gate the plane was suppose to be at is still occupied. The plane would have to wait until the other plane clears the gate.





If there aren't any delays, figure around 30 minutes.|||It depends on which airport as some of them have gates that are a long ways from the main terminal. It also depends what row she is seated in. If she's in the front of the plane she gets off first if she is in the back she gets off last. I'd wait for her to call you on her cell before you drive up!|||From the second the plane touches down on the runway and to the time a passenger has collected their baggage and are ready to leave, about 30-45 minutes has elapsed. If your sister is arriving from an international flight, then about 45-60 minutes.|||Around forty minutes to an hour depending on the luggage .|||Depends...........what airport............some gates are a long way from the baggage carousel..........
