Flying out to Lanzarote tomorrow afternoon from Liverpool and back on Tuesday night/early Wednesday morning 18th May. Are both flights going to be A320s? What are the loads like for Easy to Lanzarote out of Liverpool? Is there a lot of competition from airlines on this route from MAN?

Closest to competition is Jet2 and possibly Monarch.

The budget guys don't tend to touch MAN 'too' much - few Ryanair and Eqsyjet options from MAN - budget is really with Jet2 - TCX and TOM might also. But they are usually seasonal.

Thank You! How many seats on A320 EZY? Is this a popular route for EZY from Liverpool?

EZY A320s fly with 180 seats.

How popular is the route? Because I dont have the breakdown between EZY and FR as yet I can only go by the route as a whole.

The route uplifted 6907 in Feb (CAA) and the combined number of available seats from both airlines in that month was 7344, which returns loads of an average 94%.

very popular for EZY at LPL. At the moment there is the usual lull between half term/bank holidays and the summer season. The aircraft is G-EZTV that will be operating tomorrow.

Typically, anything on the Easyjet network 4 hours or more will always be an A320.

JSCL? What do you mean? Few Easyjet options at MAN? 6 aircraft from this month and 20 odd routes.

Ezy a320

I thought the EZY A320s had 177 seats as row 30 DEF is a toilet.

No 180. Row 31 has just 3 seats. The aircraft could have been configured 180Y with the standard toilet positions but chose to standardise with the A319 by having LAV D in galley position. For the passenger, down to the mid 20's rows, the seat pitch always seems reasonable when compared to the 180 configuration on say TCX. Easyjet's seat pitch is usually classified on various sites as 29" but i'm sure this refers to the last few rows which are, admittedly, very tight. For the rest of the aircraft (A320 and A319) the configuration doesn't actually feel like very high desity. The wider aisle helps with that I think.

Allocated seating

Is there any more news about easyJet doing allocated seating, it was mentioned
a few months ago but nothing more mentioned.

I wonder if easyJet will ever do expansion out of Inverness or Aberdeen airports.

Surely there is demand for holiday destination airports from both these airports.

But is there a demand sufficient to fill an aircraft and is there sufficient in bound to justify it ?

On the main bucket & spade routes inbound traffic really is a non-issue. But yes, of course sufficient demand to fill an aircraft is of course required and with no base at INV and ABZ, it's probably unlikely.

Allocated seating. According to a communication a few weeks ago, it is still being considered along with other ways of "making the Easyjet experience better". Very generic but that quote was made in response to questions regarding FR's trial and whilst it's not very specific, it does indicate that allocated seating is a possibility in the short/mid term future.

Another (better) pic of the orange bird. It's the 200th Airbus for EZY. There are rumours EZY could announce a new order (A320neo) when they'll receive it later this month.

Looks like they refuelled with Sunny Delight or Being Tangoed.

If the charter carriers (Thomson holidays used to offer a resonable program ex INV) havent been able to make significant progress at INV , there must be a reason, and id be surprised if EZY would entertain it. As said, the inbound would be virtually zero on a IBZ-INV, and 150 seats is a lot to fill

Cabincrewe, as i mentioned before....whilst i agree that it won't happen from these airports, it's not because there is no inbound traffic. Even some routes ex MAN have very little or no inbound traffic.
