How do I get my seats together on easyJet without paying?
On easyJet flights, seats are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. So the earlier you check in, the more likely you are to be seated together. Check in for easyJet is 30 days before your flight, so make a note in your calendar.

Whilst our seating system will always try to seat families together, seats are allocated on a first come first served basis so the earlier you check in the more likely you are to be seated together.
The most important rule to make sure you all sit together: Book flights and reserve seats early. That's the simplest and cleanest way. Second, list all family members on the same reservation. If someone booked at a different time, link their reservation to yours.
After takeoff, passengers are free to move about the cabin without fear of disrupting critical weight distribution. But that doesn't necessarily mean it's OK to take over empty seats without warning.
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.
Like many airlines, easyJet routinely sells more tickets than there are seats on the plane for popular departures. The airline says its typical no-show rate is 5 per cent, or an average of nine passengers for each full flight.
Choose your family's seats when booking, whether it's included with your fare or you have to pay an additional fee. If you are unable to get your family's seats together at the time of booking, call the airline and speak with a reservations agent to determine the best course of action.
Seat detailsYou can choose a specific seat at any time for a fee (complimentary for AAdvantage® members based on your status). Otherwise, seats will be automatically assigned for free at check-in. We can't guarantee that you'll be seated together.
Airline seat selection fees are one of the most hated surcharges in the travel industry – and they should be illegal. It costs an airline nothing to reserve your seat. Yet passengers shell out anywhere from $25 to more than $100 for a confirmed seat assignment or to sit next to their friends and family.
As an EarlyBird Check-In Customer, you'll have the benefit of an earlier boarding position, a better opportunity to select your preferred available seat, and earlier access to overhead bin storage for your carryon luggage.
For all fare classes, except Basic Economy, you will be able to pick your seat or change your seat assignment. If you have a Basic Economy ticket, you're able to purchase a seat assignment during booking and up until check-in opens.
Speak with an agentIf you don't heed our advice and find yourself at the airport with a less-than-desirable boarding group, Southwest advises that you speak with a gate agent or flight attendant. They will see if any passengers are willing to move to accommodate your family if you aren't able to get seats together.
We know that airlines do try to seat families together. But these days, paying customers pony up sometimes hundreds of bucks for their seats on full flights. In this scenario, the airlines sometimes cannot incentivize other travelers to change seats to accommodate a family.
It all depends on how many other people on that particular flight decide to pay to select their seats. If it is going to upset you to be apart, even for only a relatively short time, then bite the bullet and pay to select your seats now rather than leaving it to chance.
