How long does it take to get from plane to exit?

If your plane does skip rows, it's still going to take you about 30 seconds per physical row to get off the plane, but it'll probably take you closer to 20 seconds per numbered row to exit, in which case you can look at your row number and divide by three to estimate.

A typical descent profile would start 100nm out, during which the plane would slow pretty uniformly from around 400kts to around 140kt. This gives an average groundspeed of 270kt. So this 100nm is covered in around 25 minutes rather the 15 minutes at full cruise. The descent has cost us only 10 minutes.

The MLW is set in order to ensure safe landings; if an aircraft weighs too heavy during touchdown, it may suffer structural damage or even break apart upon landing.
