    There were no non-£30 seats available. There were only two seats left on the flight when I went to check in, both of which were extra leg room plus the £30 extra charge. Even if I had not selected the £30 extra leg room seat, there were no other free seats available anywhere on this flight!

    What we are all trying to explain is you don't select anything! You just continue check in and it will give you a seat.
    You had a free seat in your ticket, you didn't need to specific one unless you wanted to sit somewhere specific which costs you as you found out.

    Precisely what I did earlier this year when I used Wizz for the first time. They sent me lots of warning emails to encourage me to pay to reserve a seat. I ignored these, but was very careful to check in on-line. At that point I was given a seat reservation.
