As you enter, half way through your journey or as you leave?
Or do you know any better?

One floor before you get off. You won't be there long enough for it to get you and it won't monkey tail you! So those left behind will suffer greatly.

Sorry there is no good time to fart in an elevator ...
So to answer this will depend on your focus really...
Do yu want to NOT have others suspect you as the culprit?? If you say no you dont want to be suspect or stared at directly.. the on your way is the way to go with it...
If you do not care if they suspect... then let er rip right there and let them deal with it.. and you too!! Or you can always use the fart,, then once it smells step over a bit and glance at the person next to you.. now they WILL know it was you but everyone else will not!!
Now you could fart as you enter and take the chance it wont follow you or that they will think somebody else out there waiting for the elevator did it and you simply drug it in with you.. you could get some sympathetic looks for that... Or they might just think you smell bad all together.. Its a toss up really
These answers are assuming this is a public elevator and you are an adult
But if this is a dorm elevator or other college elevator.. then FART away whenever however because farting is not the worst thing that will be left in that elevator in a 24 hour period of time anyway...
But as far as ettiquite I dont feel farting in teh ELevator is ever good.. take t he steps.
Good Luck
and if all else fails.. try BEANO

If you mean by optimum time as being that time when the fart is going to be enjoyed by the maximum number of people then it would have to be halfway through the journey. Even better though is when you feel a real eye burning stomach turner winding it's way down to your dung funnel keeping it in till the next floor stop and getting off, then just as the door is closing, letting go in the loudest way possible and quickly turning round to see the looks of horror & disgust on the remaining passengers faces before the doors slide shut encasing them in the elevator of doom (at least untill the next floor, where you can probably hear the mass exodus of the lift one floor up).

Just as you have crammed the last of the 12 people into the elevator on the 2nd floor and you realise everyone wants to go to the 33rd floor. Fantastic for breaking the silence and, if you have baked it well, it will weed out the strong from the weak! See how many can stand the stink up to the floor they wanted to go. 3 points for each person who arrives on the 33rd floor still standing, -1 point for everyone who gets off half way through the journey!

When you are stuck between floors around 4 in the afternoon after a major vindaloo curry dinner the night before, baked beans for breakfast and a couple of pints of Guinness at luch time with some pickled eggs. Just make sure they don't have to use anything that causes sparks like a saw to get you out and don't smoke. If the other people let you get out alive it will have been a life changing experience.

I wouldn't do it as you enter, because it will just follow you in, and everyone will be full aware of who the culprit is.
While actually in the elevator seems like a bad idea too - if you're alone someone could come in and give you dirty looks. If people are already in there, that's just asking for a Jackass moment. (Thought it could be funny, anyway.)
I would say as you leave, if only to leave offended people behind you where they can't slow you down with all their foolish complaining.

try to time your release of obnoxious gases for the moment the door is about to open. Wait 2 seconds for it to leave your pants and start to drift upwards, then leave the elevator grinning.
*ideally if someone leaves just ahead of your walk behind them wafting your hand across your face as if you got the first whiff from the fart (blaming them!!)

If you are alone in the elevator, at the beginning, as hopefully, by the time you disembark, the smell will have become better.
If you're with someone you like - never.
If you're with someone you dislike, a silent but deadly one JUST when they get out, so you can blame them.

personally, i think the just as the doors are closing approach is the way to go. if you can't stand ur own, then your not a man. the look of anticipation and soon, terror on the faces of others is great. u should stand tall, be brave, be smug and laugh in the faces of your withering, moaning, now terminally ill victims. muhahahahahahaha! you are victorius! live long!

As the door is opening let one loose as somebody is exiting.
quickly enter the elevator, proclaiming loudly- JEEZE GUY! SHOW A LITTLE CLASS! and hit the door close button.

The lift needs to be fulland you need to be at the door so that everyone else gets the full force of your gutrot. That way nobody can see you smile and you leave first.
