Via my membership of an Easyjet forum I have been advised

"After listening to feedback from the community and other customers over the past few years, easyJet has decided to trail allocated seating on selected routes from next year."

All they need to do now is to enforce the cabin baggage rules and the wait at the gate can be made so much less stressful.

Interesting that in the responses 15% are agin it. I'm not quite sure why.

I am against it on 90% of their routes because I don't want to have the price of my cheap flight increased, and I actually prefer unallocated seats to the BA 'pay or have a free for all at t-24' approach.

Where it does make sense is on family holiday routes because they suffer delays when kids are separated from their family and people have to be re-seated to ensure kids are sat with a parent etc.

True, but I pay for Speedy Boarding anyway. I'd rather pay for an allocated seat.

Voices were heard, and they were all alike. No question, now, what had happened to the low cost airline. The passengers outside looked from budget to traditional, and from traditional to budget, and from budget to traditional again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.
