Easyjet begins trial of allocated seating SOURCE: http://www.businesstraveller.com/news/easyjet-begins-trial-of-allocated-seating I hope they offer this " service " at every Easyjet flight soon, this at least would reduce the uncertainty and scramble for seats on their planes!
I would pay £3 just to be able to sit with anyone I'm travelling with - or to avoid a chance at being stuck in the middle!
Heck, many of us pay more than that in our pursuit of elite status that helps us stay out of middles for the most part.
