Any Easyjet experts out there?

[cutekids]

have asked my hubbie who travels enough with them but he says "stop worrying".
however, i'm worried. i'm very overweight-still!-and i'm terrified that i'm not going to fit in their seats.anyone?
also,is there any way at all that i can ask for us as a family to be all sat together?

anyone

Don't try and sit in the front row as the seats are smaller, and you're not allowed to use an extension seat belt in that row (are you big enough to need one?).

Otherwise you'll be ok.

Ryanair have a priority boarding rip-off scheme whereby you pay an extra £2 per person per flight to get on the plane first, and so get seats together. In reality that means nothing when you have to get a bus to the plane. I'm pretty sure that EasyJet run the same scheme.

As to the size of seats - they are pretty small and it won't be a comfortable flight but if you get an aisle seat there will be scope for some overspill, IYSWIM.

i did notice on our Thomson flight last year that I was having problems fastening the belt...had to get hubbie to really pull.god this is so embarrassing.

Cut and paste from website :

Free seating for maximum flexibility
We operate a free seating policy which means that you can choose where you sit on the aircraft. easyJet operates a strict priority boarding system and you will be boarded by the sequence you checked in at.

When you check in, you will be issued with a boarding pass. These are numbered in order, so the first passenger to check-in will receive number one, the second number two etc. These indicate the order in which passengers will board the aircraft, and are therefore NOT seat numbers.

The aircraft is boarded in groups, starting with passengers travelling with young children and passengers requiring assistance first, followed by passengers with group ?A? boarding cards, then B, C and finally group D. So in general, the earlier you check in, the wider the choice of seats you have when you board.

thankyou Hassled.
i'm really worrying about the seatbelt thing!

Just ask for a seat belt extension if you need one. I nearly always do.

cantsleepwontsleep,have you ever travelled on Easyjet?

Yes, but a while ago.
I'm now a snob and prefer to travel BA business class .

s'pose they're bigger are they?

We flew to Geneva with easyjet in April and the seats felt a bit bigger to me (I'm a size 18) than the last time I flew, which was with Monarch I think - it was an Airbus (A321 maybe?) and seemed really new. The rows were a bit further apart too - I have very long thighs and my knees weren't jammed against the seat in front.

Can you find out what kind of plane it will be? I was really impressed with this one

I am also of the generous persuasion (OK i've got a fat bum....and tum.... and bingo wings - you get the idea ) I travelled on ryanair last year and I can't imagine their to different to easyjet. The belt was snug as was the seat, but for a shorthaul trip it was bareable.

Also, I noticed that quite a few people in 2s who did pay for priority boarding bagged window-and-aisle seats, in the hope that nobody would come and sit between them, and as the flight wasn't full it worked - could you do this with a child each? (Assuming you are 2 adults and 2 kids)

You'll need to do some research here, cutekids - find out what kind of plane will it be, and will you walk to the plane or will you be bussed (at either end)?

thanks.i've already booked the holiday but i'm getting more and more nervous.i'm not afraid of telling my friends (travelling with our kids and friends etc)that i might be in an embarrassing situation.i just don't want to make deal of it infront of all the other passengers on the plane.
