Leaving plane on transfer of same flight and returning
I wish to get off plane and walk around airport(to avoid stiffness) when a plane has a stop and passenger continuing on same plane to final destination.
The time is 55 minutes at the stop location. Can a passenger get off plane and then reboard, using the same seat assignment. thank you

Can you stay on the same plane for a connecting flight?
Once you're in the plane, the crew will tell you if you have to get off and then get in again or not - depends if they have to clean up the plane and if the crew has to be changed. But the plane will leave from the same gate, you don't have to go anywhere else.When you transfer flights do you have to go through security again?
For connecting domestic flights, you almost never have to exit and reenter security, though there are some exceptions at airports where the terminals aren't all connected. For domestic-to-international connection, it's still pretty rare that you have to exit and reenter security, even if you're changing terminals.Can you leave the airport on a transfer flight?
Yes, you can leave the airport during domestic layovers. For instance, if you're a US citizen and have a layover within the country, it is legal and safe to leave the airport.Is luggage automatically transferred on connecting flights?
The agent at check-in will usually ask if you want your luggage checked through to your last stop. You'll also receive boarding passes for both flights when you first check-in, so all you will need to do is find your gate at your connecting airport and your bags will automatically follow.Do's and Don'ts in Connecting Flights | Points to Remember
