RE: easyJet
Have just returned home after three weeks in Lanzarote. Flew out on 21st February on Airbus A320 G-EZUO from Stand 52.
The return flight from Arricife was on Thursday (14th) on A320 G-EZTM. This flight was due to leave at 1825. However everybody was on board at 1800 and we took off at 1820. Landing at LJLA was at 2211, 39 minutes ahead of the booked 2250 arrival. We were parked on Stand 2 which is right outside Passport Control which was good on a cold night.
This was the first time that I had used easy-Jet since the introduction of allocated seating. I have to say that the system works very well. Speedy Boarding is still retained at £8 per seat per journey, and those people get the first eight rows at the front plus the legroom seats by the central emergency doors. Disabled passengers plus those who claim to be disabled now have to book seats as well and if they want the front row they have to pay the speedy boarding fee. On our flight one woman with a stick made a great deal of fuss that she had a window seat in row 27 but wanted an aisle seat. The crew went out of their way to accommodate her request, even offering her seats in the speedy boarding area but these were not good enough for her as her husband would be in the row behind.
