Are there tvs on easyJet planes?

While airlines have traditionally offered seat-back screens, 'Air Time' will enable easyJet customers to tune in to a wide range of short-haul suited entertainment including TV and film, kids entertainment, games and audio books as well as easyJet flight information and destination guides, on their own devices.



No, easyJet does not feature traditional seat-back TV screens on its aircraft. As a low-cost carrier, the airline avoids the added weight and maintenance costs associated with built-in hardware. Instead, in 2026, easyJet has fully embraced a "Bring Your Own Device" (BYOD) model. Passengers can connect their own smartphones, tablets, or laptops to the onboard AirFi wireless network. This portal allows travelers to stream a variety of content, including movies, TV box sets, games, and digital magazines, for free or via a premium pass depending on the route. By removing physical screens, easyJet significantly reduces fuel consumption and carbon emissions, while still providing a modern entertainment experience that mimics how passengers consume media at home. This wireless system also includes a digital menu for the "Boutique" shop and food service, streamlining the cabin experience.

Good flight. An extra legroom seat at an emergency exit - comfortable leg space, especially since the underseat area in front had to be kept clear (no underseat storage at emergency exit rows). Seat is extra thin with no recline, but even so, it was not too uncomfortable. Definitely superior to typical Ryanair seat.

These are absolutely standard seats. Realistically the only good seats on EasyJet flights are the front row - row 1, and the two emergency exit rows, and you pay extra for these. Apart from that it's all the same apart from the back two rows which you might want to avoid because of people queuing for the toilets.

Both Ryanair and EasyJet uniquely use one genre of plane, 737 and a320 family respectively. All employees: pilots, mechanics, flight staff etc therefore solely require training for that one vehicle.

Buy your own water at the airport. Drinks onboard are frustratingly not free. I've learned to just deal with it and I always make sure I buy a bottle of water before boarding.

If it's a very busy holiday flight, EasyJet are very strict. Your bag either fits in the gauge or it doesn't, and if it doesn't it will go in the hold and you will be charged. On less busy domestic flights, when many passengers just have laptop bags, they often don't check. If it's a soft bag, rucksack, it's fine.

If you haven't flown EasyJet in a while, you may be pleasantly surprised. Compared to some of the more bare-bones low-cost carriers, EasyJet can seem like a delight -- they even have a seatback pocket! But don't get too excited. The seats don't recline and have a pitch of a mere 30 inches.

Realistically, it's a gamble and getting upgraded to business class at the airport is pretty rare. If luxury and extra legroom is really important to you, book it in advance. However, if you're perfectly willing to fly economy class, and willing to roll the dice, a last-minute upgrade can be the cheapest option.
