Wondering if they let you reserve your seats like you can on Virgin or if you have to wait till the checkout desk before being assigned seats.

Anyone know?

Also - how did you find them to fly with?

Thanks
 
Don't remember how the seating arrangement works but the flight attendants are most helpful and constantly on their feet to attend to your needs. Just press that little light and presto, you can ask for drinks, booze, snacks...etc
 
I think you can only do it in the 48hrs before flight with online check in.

I'm booked for Feb but could not find anywhere to change seats.

Seems there are more options if you put your Asia Miles number or Marco Polo club number in when booking.

You see, i dont want to come off as being snobbish or arrogant.. But up until a year ago my life consisted of long haul flights to california and Dubai (Virgin, BA, Continental), and it wasn't until i had an Easyjet flight to Turkey early last year that i realised that not every flight has free drinks, TV's in every seat and a choice of free meals.

Well, it's sort-of obvious that budget no-frills airlines are just that ;)

Fly BA to Turkey and I'm sure you'll get a 50p pack of peanuts to justify the extra cost :D

What's really shocking is flying American and finding out you need to pay $5 for a crappy box of dry bread with cheese....on a cross-US flight! AA really are terrible :/
 
Yeah, it's really arrogant of me, but i just never thought about it!

Never did AA. I try not to fly BA anymore either. I dont really go to Cali now so tend to take Emirates to Dubai.

SOrry, ot :(
 
Easyjet is like getting on the bus, sit where you want and get off at the other end. CP is really good, every in economy you get your own TV screen, a blanket, a pillow, some cleaning stuff and a pair of slippers.

This was breakfast (there was a choice, i went English style), even the bread roll was hot ! You get bottomless drinks, can even help yourselves in the kitchen, but the alcohol is locked up, that you have to ask.




For economy the leg room isn't too bad either, i had a window seat on the way out and i could stretch my legs straight under the seat in front.
