Priority seats on Easy Jet

[jw47]

Does anyone have any thoughts on whether or not is worth paying for priority boarding on Easy Jet to Spain

[EvianBaby]

I've never bothred. If you get in the queue early enough you can get a decent seat. I suppose it depends on how desperate you are to have the seat of your choice though.

I've never bothered either, and never had a problem. When I last went on EasyJet, the priority boarders were put on the same bus as us to the plane so it defeated the purpose!

it will get you out of the terminal first - but that may just get you onto the bus, you sit down by the wrong door and then find you're the last person on to the plane...

They're thinking about letting you reserve actual seats

Not worth it.

You get on board first, so you have to sit for ages.

Better to ruck up at the last minute, be the last passenger, and then bag an aisle seat by saying "Hi, could I just squeeze on the end here?"

(nobody ever says no!) =0)

Occasionally they may say 'get orff moi lap' - but probably more likely to me than JJ ;=)

I don't have my own skis any more.

And I only carry small hand luggage, now the BF has full sets of my clothes and ski suits, running gear, etc.

I don't have time for all this baggage collection business, LOL.

But we all seem to agree ... no priority boarding.

... how fortunate that you can wear the same size :+p

Boom Tsschh !!

Dave, you're on form today.

Not worth the extra cost - they don't always announce speedy boarding anyway, just get there early enough to be near the front of the queue

I wouldnt bother either. A few years ago we flew Ryanair for the first time and I paid extra for their priority seats as the whole idea of just getting on a plane and not knowing whether you would sit anywhere near each other with young children made me nervous! Coming home though we were on the same bus from the terminal as others who hadnt paid so it was a waste. We didnt pay this year and we were first in line and stood directly behind passengers who had which was quite satisfying lol. Just dont turn up last and you will be ok.

maybe of some benefit if you board via air bridge but not worth it if you transfer to plane by bus. We always head for the back stairs,for some reason most head for the front stairs. We are seated whilst others are in gridlock at the front held up by people putting bags in the bins.
