AFAICT very few people actually buy seat selection on some flights. What happens is that the flight looks empty and those who can select think they have a afirly empty flight. Then the online check in opens and wham - it's pretty much full. I guess there's a mix of automation and people actually checking in. On flights out of Dubai it's further complicaetd because people who are connecting from far away get to check in earlier.
It's a horrible system. If you don't pay you may find even if you hit the check in when you are allowed there's no choice. And for the first time in our family we're experiencing people being separated.
If you do pay then you think you've got a decent seat in a quiet area of the plan and no it's much mor likely that it will just fill up around you.
I used to like Emirates. Now they're just hassle.
I read today that Lufthansa is going to charge for seat selection from 30 to 50 euro. I wonder if it's going to be like American carriers where plane can be empty but everyone sits at the back, because you have to pay extra to sit at the front of economy.
Treat it as a glorified bus service, which is basically what it is, and you're OK.

Still most people at the back, even after spreading people a bit, I think it was Miami to NYC flight on AA. When on BA in similar situation most people were at the front and just a few at the back (counted 11 people in economy on that particular ocassion, Frankfurt to Heathrow). I was stopped from moving couple of times from my seat, due to aircraft balanacing, last time on Gulf Air A320. Also cargo plays a role in balancing aircraft.No, that would affect the centre of gravity (trim of the a/c during take off) so if no one pre booked, you will just be allocated seats throughout the cabin, and if no one was seated by the overwing exits, the cabin crew will move someone to that row. Once everyone is onboard, you can ask the crew if it’s ok to swap seats. But be aware, that sometimes they will ask you to stay in allocated seats for take off, as the trim settings have been calculated on the planned weight distribution.
We go to Spain twice a year to holiday home, Alicante airport. Unfortunately the boys and girls nights out in Benidorm use these flight too.
They could take them some water to drink...but probably charge them £5/litreIf Ryan Air did Cape Town...
In the winter it’s a hellish place to get to. And even worse to get away from. But it’s a stunning island though.Looks lovely place Darrell, too far for the lash heads to travel for the weekend. To hot for this fair skinned scot though, not used to high temps!
Only shocking if you don’t know.Ryanair are shocking. They claim to fly to many cities but in fact dump you many miles from those cities. A bit like Stanstead/Gatwick/Luton being called London.
