    I love it when these threads pop up. People think this is brand new info, yet its common knowledge amongst everyone anyway and nobody actually cares anymore.

    The "Frank Grimes" of forum threads, if you will.
    Err...it is new. Fairly new anyway. Ryanair only started doing it a few years ago, Easyjet only a few months ago.

    Or do some here still not understand the difference between selecting specific seats; and not selecting specific seats but being expected to be sat together where possible rather than deliberately split up?

    (although it's possible there weren't 2 seats together when the OP checked in and the member of staff he spoke to was clueless).

    The member of staff he spoke to was probably Hungarian and would have had English as a second language.

    Sorry but he posts this thread as if this seat policy is brand new information. It isn't. Nobody cares. And it is yet another thread on here where the OP never returns to it because he was expecting sympathy and he ends up (quite rightly) getting none.

    Why are you bothering to reply to this thread if you don't care?

    Jet2 are the same. Sitting together seems to matter for many adults and that is now a pay extra for option.

    And with one third of the replies, who is responsible for "clogging up" this thread?
  • Thread shouldn't be be here in the first place. OP will be back soon to tell us the grass is green and the sky is blue.

    Hint - it's a lot quicker to simply ignore threads you "don't care" about than it is make several replies to them clogging up the forum even more. You're not going to censor this board, so don't bother trying.
