EasyJet may ditch seating free-for-all

ONE of the most hated aspects of no-frills airline travel may be ditched by Scotland’s biggest airline, which has announced a trial of allocated seating.

EasyJet will test giving passengers a pre-arranged seat on several routes from next spring.

It could end the free for all, as passengers who have not paid to reserve seats vie for the best spot, or families attempt to get spaces beside each other. EasyJet will still allow passengers to pay for pre-booking popular seats, such as those with extra leg room.
