EJ won't charge for allocating seat. The only charges are if you want to choose a seat during the booking process or if you want to change the seat allocated to you. The majority won't pay for allocated seating.

Re: Easy Jet to Charge Allocated Seating
I've been going to Athens from Manchester ( and return)regularly with work all this year on Easyjet. I bought a hand luggage bag which was the maximum allowable dimensions to avoid check in queues and the wait at baggage claim. Obviously a mistake because almost every time I board I am asked to check that the bag fits in the frame. While I'm doing this everyone else is boarding. My comment that it has been checked many times previously cuts no ice. My only grim satisfaction is seeing the look of slight annoyance on the face of the boarding clerk when it invariably fits in the frame.

Re: Easy Jet to Charge Allocated Seating
To be truthful I don't care where I sit as long can sit with the people I travel with, with my luggage above or near me.
It is more important who is sitting next, in front or behind that matters. Loud music, games being played, kids kicking the back of seat, person in front reclining seat into knees and face, smelly nappy changing close by, constant crying kids etc. Sometimes it is better to sit near the back because most of the noise seems to happen down near the front.

Just thought, the passenger that sits next to you that reads a broad sheet newspaper. But one of the worse annoyances is the coughers and sneezers guaranteed after 48 hours to ruin your long awaited holiday.

Re: Easy Jet to Charge Allocated Seating
I share the other annoyances quoted, however - and wouldn't want to sit next to anyone who couldn't fit comfortably into their own seat and spilled over into mine.

Re: Easy Jet to Charge Allocated Seating
I love how people on here bitch like crazy over Ryanair...and when easyJet listens to feedback and re-introduces allocated seating people still are not happy!
It wasn't long ago we used to spend £600 on a ticket to Sunny Spain!
£3 for a aisle seat- yes please!!!

I HATE flying on budget airlines, for all the reasons listed above. I always pick up some bug or other. I can't afford to go to England by train, so if anyone wants to see me they have to come over here!

Re: Easy Jet to Charge Allocated Seating
I've just paid £111 for a return flight from Malaga-Manchester in early December (including taking a suitcase both ways). I suppose it's still cheaper than it was many years ago, but it does seem quite expensive for the time of year and not booking at the last minute.

Re: Easy Jet to Charge Allocated Seating
That's a lot cheaper than I'm looking at, although I was looking at this month. Looking at the prices now it's almost gone full circle, we're almost back to what we were paying in the 80's!

Re: Easy Jet to Charge Allocated Seating
I have been guilty of the second, flying back from UK I was really poorly and when checking in with Flybe (no printed boarding card required) I asked if it was at all possible could I be sat on my own as I was full of cold and didn´t want to be a nuisance to the person next to me. Couldn´t believe it when it actually happened. Flybe more expensive than Ryanair but so much more civilised.
