Have easyjet changed the seating configuration of their A320 - just flown with them and we had the over wing emergency exit seats (row 12) and the legroom appeared a lot less that our previous flight with them last year.

It seemed a little more room than standard seating but not really much more and not really worth the premium we paid.

TFS1,

There's not been any change in configuration. They have the maximum number of seats that are permitted so can't put any more in!

I have never flown with EJ before so i wondered if you could help me on a couple of questions.

Oct 2-16th booked EJ from Luton Flight2397 going to Sharm el Sheikh

1) I have booked extra legroom seats 13F outbound, 1A inbound, is the legroom space similar to thomsons as i am 5ft 11.

2) I do not understand the additional airport information.........

It states due to regs in place in sharm my online boarding pass does not allow me into the departure area, so must present myself at bag drop to receive a stamp from their team. Failure to do this will result in me not flying?

So i am assuming this is the return journey back to the UK. So when i arrive at the sharm airport for my flight home i go through the scanner with my case before going through to check in, when and where is the bag drop? Is this checkin or somewhere else.

Never done this before with any other airline so confused :(

Thanks

The normal legroom on EJ is 29 inch pitch , and having used ex legroom seats on EJ they have slightly more room , but no more than 2 inches more, the row 1 seats seem popular and have good legroom in reports I have read , but sometimes people say they feel cold because they are near the door , so bear this in mind on your return flight , I don't know exactly what thomson ELR pitch is , perhaps it is a bit more than that of EJ .

The additional airport info is a local security issue , you will arrive at the airport and go through luggage scanners then the bag drop will be at the checkin area who will then tag your bags and stamp your online boarding cards so you can carry on through to the det. lounge

13f outbound is showing as a 'good seat'

Seat 13 F is an Economy Class Exit Row seat that is dedicated by EasyJet as an XL Seat. XL seats have extra legroom, however these seats are priced higher and come with the Speedy Boarding pass, allowing dedicated check-in and priority boarding. The tray table is in the armrest, making the armrest immovable and slightly reducing seat width.

1A is:-

XL seats have extra legroom, however these seats are priced higher and come with the Speedy Boarding pass, allowing dedicated check-in and priority boarding. The proximity to the lavatory and galley may be bothersome. Some passengers have reported this seat to be colder and draftier than other seats on this plane.

we have flown with easy jet and found them quite roomy my hubby is 6ft 1 and our friend is 6ft and both said they were quite surprised by the space we didn't choose extra legroom seats either x :)

Thanks, i paid i think £10.99 for the extra legroom for 3 of us, i usually go with Monarch but for some reason didnt buy the exits and had the worst plane ride home as legs squashed with passenger seat back all the flight.

Hi Derwentrocker,

We flew with EJ for the first time back in Nov when we went to Sharm. Booked seats 1D & E both ways, but if flying with EJ in the future would book 1A & B .... loads of legroom:-) Have flown Thomson and TC many times, but would book EJ over them in the future.

Regards,
Pat

Thanks Pat, So when we go to check in then they stamp the e tickets for boarding? i must have done this with Monarch in January, i had e ticket then but cannot remember if it was the same process. Couldnt get the front flying out but still exit seats, so pleased we chose them now, cheers

Any word on when the winter schedule will be on sale? i don't have Facebook , but i know that Easyjet generally

post on there when they intend to put flights on sale. Anyone on Facebook have any insider info? :)

Been on their Facebook page today and all they say is flights released early april
Reply
Yes, they should be released any time now - actually the easyjet website is already loading slower these days, probably because of may persons waiting!
But why don't you use the Easyjet flight alert tool that emails you as soon as your desired flight goes on sale? I'm not talking about the official Easyjet newsletter, but about the unofficial (3rd party) flight alerts.

Thanks all. I'll keep an eye on the website. Last time, i had already booked my flights, before i got the email alert

from them that the flights had gone on sale!

i have not had the pleasure of flying Easy Jet, its said they have made lots of improvements to their customer service. I know they were getting numerous complaints. So has any one traveled with Easy Jet in the last few months or, what company have you had the best flying experiences with?.
