Flight Watch

Anyone flown Easyjet lately that have prebooked their seats. I assume you will be called to board before others that have not, to save the "excuse me your sat in my/our seats."

much easier to turn up at your leisure and board last then go to a row with an empty seat and say 'my wife is going to sit here with a 6 month old baby - do you want to stay or move to that spare seat over there. Voila - 2 seats and no scrum to get them.

I remember when Easyjet had not long started and had bought some aircraft off BAs Go. We were having a few drinks in a bar in Benidorm on a long weekend we had  booked.

as of november, there is no speedy boarding.  you pay £12.00 each way for row 1 or the row in the middle near the emergency exit and get extra leg room,  £6.00 each way for rows 2-6 and then £3.00 each way for rows 7 and beyond,  if you aren't bothered where you sit, you don't pay and board last.  We have booked Portugal and Corfu flights for 2013 and have chosen row 7 for the 3 of us so has worked out a lot cheaper than speeding boarding which we previously always paid for.

Bob, we have been to benidorm a couple of times for a long weekend.
One time we went with friends so I sat with to old boys, told me they were going for 2 months and asked how long I was going for, when I said for just a long weekend (Thursday-Sunday) they both just looked at me like I was mental!! Ha ha
They then unpacked their picnic and offered me a piece of pork pie, telling me they weren't paying airline prices!
Had to giggle when we bumped into them again checking into the same hotel as us.

As for really cheap prices my wife's mum and dad had planned a holiday to Florida and at the last minute they asked my wife if she wanted to go with them as I was working. Booked a flight from good old tele txt for £49 return!!! But it was about 20 years ago.

Hi all

Newcastle flights - cheap to go, very dear to return with Easyjet, Jet2 even more expensive!! We probably won't be going to Albufeira next year (other things to do) but if I was I'd be hanging on, this might just be the one year where the prices will come down if no one books!
