A passenger has sparked a fierce debate about ‘plane etiquette’ after questioning why people rush to exit on landing.

Let's face it, 'plane etiquette' varies from person to person. Some can't stand people taking their socks off, while others hate it when the passenger in front reclines their seat too far back.

However, one woman has gone viral for slamming fellow plane passengers for not moving out 'row by row'.

Watch below:

TikToker Mikayla took to the platform to share her pet peeve as she flew from Boston to Florida.

"Since when did airplane etiquette of getting off the plane row by row end?" she wrote in her caption.

The short clip sees her remain seated while fellow passengers rush off the plane.

A line of people are seen queuing to get out of the aircraft while Mikayla and her travel companion look less than impressed.

The video, which has been viewed over two million times, has sparked a debate on whether 'row by row' is the way to go.

One viewer disagreed with the TikToker, writing: "I’ve been traveling 20+ years and I’ve never seen people do row by row."

Another said: "I have never seen it go row by row. It doesn’t board row by row either. So idk why people expect this.

"Either push your way in or wait patiently."

While a third commented: "I had to do that on my last flight cause the plane was delayed by 2 hours and I had 15 minutes to make it to my gate. Felt awful but I had to do it."

Others were on Mikayla's side, as one person wrote: "My biggest pet peeve."

A second added: "I experienced the same thing recently and I wasn't in the aisle so there was nothing I could do but wait for the aisle seat person to go."

Someone else said: "Ughh! I hate that.I Now I sit and wait. Last flight lucked out, sat by buff man who stepped out, let my daughter and I out and got our overhead."

Another admitted: "I just had this happen Monday. I understand if they need to catch a connecting flight. If that’s unspoken though, it’s considered rude."

Well, etiquette expert Lisa Mirza Grotts has cleared things up after telling Newsweek: "This is common practice, courteous, and reinforces the golden rule: treat others the way you want to be treated."

She said that 'etiquette dictates passengers in front, middle, then back exit; aisle goes first, then middle and window seat'.

There you have it.
