Always on the hunt for more revenue, everyone’s favourite low cost carrier Ryanair is going to be selling the pre-assigned seating on it’s planes. Don’t get excited though. It’ll be restricted to:
- Row 1 (Front of the plane)
- Row 2 (Near the front of the plane)
- Row 16 (over the wing – extra legroom)
- Row 17 (over the wing – extra legroom)
For the privilege of having a seat in these rows, it’s another €10. This includes priority boarding too. The trial has been going on the last 6 months on 100 routes. This is to be expanded to all routes from 10th January 2012.
If your low costs needs are served better with another airline, then EasyJet also offers allocated seating too in it’s trial that’s going on too. FlyBe and BMIBaby have more businessy products that they’ll happily sell you at vastly inflated prices that include assigned seating.
