As a regular user of Easy Jet I think the new seating system has been a success and has stopped the worst of the boarding problems, I don't however share some of the other contributors enthusiasm for Easy jet, I always seem to be held in the air bridge for an age and the amount of cabin baggage that comes aboard is excessive.
Next year at LGW will be interesting with more another low cost but quality operator basing aircraft at Gatwick and going head to head with the likes of Easy Jet on routes to Southern Europe
