PASSENGERS travelling with easyJet could get allocated seats in a new trial announced this week.
All flights from Luton to Sharm el Sheikh, Glasgow to Alicante, Luton to Malaga, Luton to Alicante and Luton to Istanbul are part of the trial run starting next month.
If the scheme is successful it will be rolled out to other airports across the country including Bristol.
The test, which has cost easyJet �5 million in computer expenses to adapt its booking system to reserved seating, will last for the summer.
All passengers will be given an allocated seat but can pay �12 for a space with extra leg room, �8 for the front seats or �3 for any other seat.
Carolyn McCall, easyJet's chief executive, said: "We will only roll it out if it works operationally and increases passenger satisfaction. Our aim is to make travel easy and affordable for all our passengers."
She added: "It can stress people out, the boarding experience. With easyJet, they may not be used to the way we board. It can be a barrier to travelling with us."
The aim will be to ensure that families and groups of passengers travelling on the same booking reference sit together, says Ms McCall. She believes that most easyJet passengers are not going to pre-book their seats but many would like the chance to pick them.
Ms McCall made the announcement as the airline launched a new flight from Southend to Barcelona.
The firm flies to around 40 destinations from the South West.
