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.
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.
Check-in desks close exactly 40 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time. EasyJet recommends you check in at least two hours before the scheduled departure time.

When you book a flight with us, you'll be offered the option to choose a fare which includes a large cabin bag or you can add one to your booking separately.

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.
Economy passengers, including those with basic economy fares, can purchase a priority boarding add-on to enter the plane with Group 4. You can't purchase this upgrade during the initial booking process, so you'll need to add it during check-in, online or at the airport.
You Get Better Cabin Space For Your LuggageIf you aren't travelling alone and have more than one check-in baggage, it is better if you board the flight first. With this, you will have better chances of getting good cabin space for your luggage over your seat.
