Easy Jet - Early boarding with kids - What's the point?

[mumtolily]

When they put you at the back of a bus with everyone else (and there's another bus boarding the plane at the same time)and you get on last anyway.

This happened to us at Liverpool airport. One man had also booked the early boarding option and he was clever enough to somehow know which side and door of the bus would end up at the plane. We sat down and got it wrong so we were nearly last on the plane but found seats together anyway, if I hadn't I'd have asked people to swap seats.
Must remember to follow the frequent flyer business man next time!
