EasyJet's not too bad
It's Ryanair that I refuse to use.

easyjet was horrendous
by the time i looked up from duty free, every other fecker had killed themselves scrambling on. i got the very last seat, which was sandwiched between the most racist fundamentalist zionist couple i've ever had the misfortune to encounter, who spent the 2 hours to madeira telling me that muslims were out to kill the world. i felt like turning my napkin into a burkha in protest (plus i look better that way).

So, your problem was that the people you were sitting next to were arses
and that's down to Easyjet how?

there were other reasons
the plane was uncomfortable and orange etc, but mainly it was full of reeking plebs and it was because there were no allocated seats that i got stuck with the racist arseholes from hell and not with my friends!

well, that and my own obsession with spending £££££££'s in duty free before i've even left the airport.

No allocated seats isn't a problem if you even vaguely pay attention to boarding, Miss Swipe ;)

Not necessarily
They charge another fiver for 'priority boarding', which means you are in the first of the unruly mobs to get on the plane. And if you've not checked in early, you're last on board. So it's a fist fight for the best of the remaining seats.

check in online.
always in the second boarding group then. besides, a seat is a seat and it's not like knowing which seat you are in prevents you getting the arsehole from hell sitting next to you..

I spend the fiver and then reserve a seat for whoever I am travelling with. I get a lot of dark looks for this but couldn't care less.

I've only ever flown Edinburgh to "London" with EasyJet
and once to Munich. It's not pleasant, and I do now use proper airlines if possible, but at least they don't charge you to breathe like O'Leary's lot.

I still maintain the planes are nicer for short haul than, say, BAs
same legroom, cleaner, and newer. Over 2 hours - no chance - but frankly you won't catch me in economy over 2 hours if I can possibly help it.

I don't turn right when I go on flights of more than 4 hours. Upstairs (business) or left (first) for me.
spoilt from when I used to travel for work a lot.
