Ezy new uk base
 

Any more info on the rumoured new base in the uk. Bhx must surely stand a chance after the start of BFS year round. I would not be surprised if this was not the only route to go year round with GVA also rumoured to be following suit. Even if a base is not forthcoming away based from the many Easy bases visiting bhx would suffice for now.

Old Bmibaby routes left unserved that Easy could move in on are PRG and LIS but u can c the old bucket n spade routes being served initially.

Would prefer them to re-open the East Midlands base rather than set-up in Birmingham however with Ryanair, FlyBe, Jet2, Monarch, Thomson and Thomas Cook now all having bases at EMA, I very much doubt that will ever happen now :(

Some detail
 

allocated seating is excellent

TB

To counter TrueBlue, I don't like allocated seating

When flying with hand luggage only and in a reasonable level of fitness, being one of the first to disembark means one can run ahead to immigration where there is usually little or no queue by virtue of all other easyjet passengers dawdling through airport corridors, flash one's EU passport before being waved through, and leave the airport terminal quickly, jumping on a bus / train / taxi to the town

Previously I could almost always turn up late at the gate without having to spend 30 mins standing in the boarding queue, and still get a seat fairly near the front of the aircraft. Now I have to pay extra for that.

Allocated seating
 

Having been one of their last` speedyboarders` on last weeks flight I`m delighted to see the introduction of allocated seating and the end of pushing, shoving and queue jumping. Jet2 have always done it and look how they have prospered. Must be that most people like it :D

Easy prospered without it till now watch fares increase in a few months :E

As a speedy boarding plus cardholder, the benefit that I see will be the more civilised approach to boarding that will happen once people get used to pre assigned seats, but easyJet estimate that this scheme will yield £85Million per year in revenue, so there is a clear case for it, and all trials proved that it has no impact on turn... For the record, while I can see the benefits, being a speedy boarder I dont feel the benefits will particularly be of benefit to speedy boarding plus card holders! Questionable if I would renew it next year.

Plus card holders get to choose any available seat on the aircraft including the premium position seats. You still board first and get first choice of baggage space and a dedicated check in area.

I think the Plus card is better value now. Yes you are not guaranteed your favourite seat as someone else may have booked it already. But with speedy boarding you weren't guaranteed it either as someone may have shoved their way ahead of you or maybe you weren't at the gate for when boarding starts.

I checked a full flight today on a very busy route today and there were still front row and exit seats as well as up front seats available for selection.

The routes which were in the trial actualy saw an increase in the sale of plus cards. And the price has also been going up for the plus card now £149.00

Could someone explain how the seat allocation works ?

Does it pre-allocate each passenger an individual seat, or is a particular seat allocated on a first come,first served basis ?

Does one need to choose a seat for a return flight when checkng in for the outbound flight ?
