Do you say deplane or disembark?

  1. If I had to choose: disembark. But in practice, I’ll probably just say: “Get off the plane.”

  2. I usually say, “We have to get off this plane! There’s NO PHALANGES!”

  3. I’ve only ever heard “deplane” as the phrase used in the opening of an 80s TV show

    I say “Get Off” for the record

  4. I have heard Deplane for getting off an aircraft and Disembark for getting off a boat or ship.

  5. Of those two, probably “deplane.” Although I’d realistically just say “get off.”

  6. The only people I’ve heard say deplane were short and lived on a tropical island.

  7. My husband makes fun of me for saying debark, so I say debark.

    (It’s a legitimate but less common variant)

  8. Both are appropriate, but deplane is becoming more common. Deplane is defined as “to disembark from an aircraft.”

  9. I say “deplane” now that I think of it. I feel like that’s what the pilots/flight attendants say over the announcements.

  10. Disembark- but I think Deplane and Disembark are used interchangeably or depends on where you are. Kinda like soda and pop or cart and buggy

  11. Probably neither. Americans will say “get off the plane” or just “get off”.

  12. I’ve genuinely never heard deplane. I usually hear disembark or exit from the crew. I usually just say “off/leaving the plane”

  13. I say “you know we’re gonna be here for ten more minutes why are you standing up?”

  14. “Why are all these people standing, do they think they’re going to get off the plane faster? Do you think that they’re gonna open the plane door faster because everyone’s standing? Why are these are people blocking the aisle as I’m trying to get out ? Why don’t these people understand that we exit the plane row by row from the front?”
