Emergency exit seats on Easyjet and extra room

sebtomato

Hi,

Does anybody know if the emergency seats on Easyjet Airbus planes have more leg room than normal seats?

I am a bit confused, because those seats are charged £8, when the front row seats (with extra leg room) are charged £12... The Easyjet website does not mention extra rooms for the emergency seats, but those have typically more room to provide easier access to the doors.

Thanks,
Seb

Yes, they do have a little more room and the added benefit that you're guaranteed not to be sat next to a child

Thanks, good point.

Why are they cheaper than the front row seats then?

Because you are normally the first to leave the aircraft !

Because you don't get as much extra room as the front row. A few extra inches, but that can make all the difference.

Last time I upgraded my seat on a Ryanair flight, for an emergency exit seat, the extra room was very noticeable, and I couldn't even touch the seat in front. I am not sure if it's the same on an Easyjet Airbus 310/320, vs a Ryanair Boeing 737.

No, it isn't that much.
