EasyJet allows passengers to pre-select seats by paying a fee during the booking process. Up Front and Extra Legroom seats are priced higher and come with the Speedy Boarding pass, allowing dedicated check-in and priority boarding.

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.
Choosing upfront seats means you're well positioned to get on and off the plane quickly, which can be helpful at the end of a long flight or if you're on a short flight with only carry-on luggage.
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.
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.
Exrta legroom seats are best. The front and overwing exit rows are better suited to those who need leg room. The front left row is directly facing the cabin crew for take off and landing.
If you want to experience as little turbulence as possible, it is best to book a seat above the wings. It has been proven that turbulence is least noticeable there. Another good choice is a seat in the front of the plane, as vibrations are also less noticeable there than in the back.
Best seat for minimizing the effects of turbulence: A seat over the wing. Best seat for peace and quiet: A seat near the front. Best seat for legroom: A bulkhead or exit-row seat. Best seat for sleeping: A window seat in a bulkhead row.
Seat prices on an airplane can vary based on several factors, including location within the aircraft: Planes tend to nose in to terminals so the front is easier and quicker to access / disembark, so worth paying a premium for. The back of the plane is nearer/behind the engines so noisier.
The best seats in Economy ClassOn shorter flights in Economy, I'll typically choose a window seat (for the views) and pay extra to sit in the front of the cabin or at the bulkhead for more legroom. On long-haul flights, I'll consider an aisle seat located about 4-5 rows from the back.
Though it might sound scary, there's one weird trick airlines don't want you to know: You don't have to select a seat. On most airlines, you'll get assigned a seat at check-in or at the gate if you don't already have one.
If you were not able to make an advance seat assignment, keep an eye on the seat map as these seats will begin to open up once check-in begins and then once the gate opens for the flight. If you see a note to see the agent on your boarding pass, you may be in luck.
Emphatically, no. You will likely get assigned a seat during check-in (though you should still skip it if the airline tries to tack on a fee) or, at the very least, at the gate. Again: You don't have to select a seat in order to get a seat. You just might get stuck with a suboptimal one if you choose to skip it.
