I don't get that with easyJet so much. Ryan Air definitely, but at least EJ has allocated setting nowDitto. Once & never again. If I can afford another airline I'll go, if not I won't go
EasyJet the same. I've travelled with them a lot more & I used to have £100 rule - if the alternative was more than 100 more I'd take EasyJet. But no more with them either
Their strategy is to dehumanized you into a number then you'll grit your teeth & accept any treatment. & if you don't & you complain they threaten you with the no- fly list
Do they? For free?I don't get that with easyJet so much. Ryan Air definitely, but at least EJ has allocated setting now
Ryanair are cancelling a lot of flights due to them mixing up pilot holidays

Bastards. It'd make me VERY reluctant to use them in future, having said that, i've so far managed to avoid having to.
You get allocated a seat for free, but have the option to pay to get a "better" seat, i.e. closer to the front.Do they? For free?
Last time I flew with them (EasyJet) you had to pay 15£ per passenger to choose your seats. Which we declined to do. So they went and split us up from our kids (8 and 10) putting us all in different parts of the aircraft. Which you can respond and say well we had the choice to pay for allocated seats, but on general principle i don't want to do that, and by the tiome we realised that we were to be split from the kids it was too late.
On speaking to a friend who is a cabin crew trainer for Virgin, she was absolutely horrified by that. Separate children from their parents on a flight, what is likely to happen in any emergency situation? You'll have the mother clawing and climbing over other passengers to get to her children, won't you. And father for that matter. Absolutely ridiculous.
Futher to that, my Mrs flew with them 2 weeks ago, and on passing her boarding passes and passport to the checkin agent in the tunnel, was returned the passport and boarding passes and instructed that she had to put the boarding passes into the passport at the correct place, which is in the photo section of the passport so that it could be easily opened at the right place. The Mrs, quite understandably I think, retorted 'Are you serious?'. To which the checkin agent responded that if she spoke another word and continuted to use sarcasm toward her, that she would find herself on the 'no fly' list?
I was also threatened with the no fly list once in Greece, where we had not printed out an itineray for checkin, and they wanted (and did!) charge us 25£ to print one for us, without which they would not issue a boarding pass. I protested at the larcenous cost, and was informed that if i said another word they would ban me from flying. Admittedly this was about 8 years ago ...

With regards to the other issues you have mentioned, I can't comment as they have always been fine when I flew. Sounds like you and your missus are just trouble makers....
Yeah but the important part is that you get out quicker the other end in the unlikely event you survive the flight ...Statistics show that the further back you are -- the more likely you are to survive a plane crash!!!!
Little of column A, little of column B.Holiday mix up or pilots leaving for Norwegian airlines?
Who knows
