easyJet does not allocate seats, and you can choose where to sit when you board the aircraft. The aircraft is boarded in priority order, however, so the earlier you check in, the more choice you will have! With Speedy Boarding and Speedy Boarding Plus you get the best choice of seats but we can’t allow you to reserve seats for fellow travellers who haven’t paid for this service – we want all our passengers to have the freedom to choose where they sit.
We appreciate that there are some passengers who require assistance. After prior arrangement with our check-in and gate staff we will do our best to assist wherever possible by providing more time for such passengers outside of the main boarding groups SB, SA, A, and B.
If you have specific requirements, please do let us know by pre-booking them for the relevant booking confirmation in My easyJet.com at least 48 hours before the scheduled departure time of your flight so that appropriate equipment and resources to be organised at the airport.
Seating exceptions
Because safety is our main priority at easyJet, there are some seats that are not suitable for all passengers.
These are marked with grey headrests as opposed to orange ones and are located at the front row of the aircraft, on the wing exits, and on the last row.
These seats are only suitable for use by able-bodied adults as you may be required to assist the crew in the highly unlikely event of an emergency. Passengers may only sit in one of these restricted seats at the discretion of our cabin staff.
Please assist us to board the aircraft as quickly as possible, and therefore depart on time, by not sitting in one of these seats if you do not meet the above criteria, or you are travelling with infants or children.
We make every effort to provide seats for people who have a confirmed booking. Rarely, a seat may not be available at check-in on a flight which operates for which a passenger has a confirmed reservation and in these circumstances our denied boarding rules will apply.
Details of our denied boarding rules are available on request at check-in counters.
