Do you have to pay for seats on EasyJet now? If you're not happy with the seats available to reserve for free, you'll then have the option to pay and secure seats together if you'd prefer. On easyJet flights, seats are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
In fact, most regular airlines now charge for seat selection anyways. It's often around $10-$30 per seat per flight segment, so if you cave in and pay for that, it can add up quickly. You shouldn't do it. No matter which airline you're flying on, don't ever pay to select a seat.
EasyJet state on their website that if you don't choose a seat before booking, they will pick one for you for free. They explain: You can choose where you'd like to sit for a fee.

Don't pay for advance seat selectionThey want to show the lowest fares possible on search results, then upsell you during checkout. This drip-pricing tactic is a pain for passengers.
