to think that Easyjet's boarding system is crap?

[YourCallIsImportant]

Easyjet board passengers in this order:

1. Passengers requiring assistance
2. Speedy Boarding
3. Online check in passengers
4. Airport check in passengers

Once on the plane, you can sit wherever you like.

So the other night, in the dark, cold, wind and pissing rain, me and about a hundred other weary travellers are standing on the tarmac and all the way up the stairs of the plane waiting to board our flight, while those who were on first settle themselves in.

AIBU to want people who board first to PICK A FUCKING WINDOW SEAT so the rest of us can just get on and sit down?

AI also BU to expect the Speedy Boarder in the aisle seat to let me into the empty seat next to them without tutting?

Also, if someone chooses an aisle seat, and there's 2 empty seats (window and middle) next to them, why do they always fasten their lap belts when there's a hundred people boarding after them?

Now, I don't want to board first, I just want to make the system work better, so finally AIBU to want Easyjet to change their boarding system so that it goes in this order?

1} Passengers requiring assistance
2) Anyone who wants a window seat
3) Anyone who wants a middle seat
4) Aisle seats.

I'm so not bothered about allocated seats, I just want people to be sensible, and if they can't be sensible then I'd like Easyjet to impose some order to make it work better. [control freak] face...

Before I decided that "cheap" came just too cheap with some airlines, I too have "enjoyed" the same experience of people attempting to get 3 seats out of two. I've always told them to shift over so I could sit down. But yes, who needs it!

I remember once before when flying with easyjet, they called for the parents and kids to come to the front, we felt bad like we were queue jumping so stayed where we were, untitl a member of staff ushered us to the front. i seriously felt bad for everyone else.

You'd feel even worse though if they were forced to sit next to your vomiting three-year-old.

And allocated seating isn't everything.

god my next holiday is with EJ not bastard Ryanair and I am PLEASED, agree EJ are like virgin club class compared to RA
