Eazyjet To Trial Reserved Seats

Easyjet are to trial reserved seating.

Currently easyJet operate open-seating, whereby passengers board the aircraft and select the seat themself with Speedy Boarding passengers and those travelling with small children boarding first getting the first choice of seats.

The new trial will mean passengers will be issued a seat number at checkin. easyJet expects demand for certain seats such as the front row seats and seats with extra space like those on the over wing exit rows. Those passengers who wish to guarantee one of these seats will be able to purchase them in advance.

Carolyn McCall, easyJet CEO, said this week: "This is another example of easyJet trying to do all it can to make travel easy and affordable for our passengers. We look forward to seeing how our passengers respond and how the trial works. We will roll it out further only if it works operationally, from a revenue perspective and increases passenger satisfaction. If it doesn’t, we won’t."
