Funny thing is, everyone gets on and off the plane and can go nowhere until everyone's on the bus to take you too the terminal at likes of Stansted. For destination airports where a bus isn't required then I suppose sitting in 1C or 2D can make the difference. If you need to sit together then I suppose it makes sense to book your seats to guarantee being sat together as a group otherwise it's Russian Roulette
