Can't say I'd be buying this myself, any takers?


If I had to use his flights I'd pay to avoid fighting my way to a
seat. Assuming the system was actually going to work. What I
really want is them to do the job properly and allocate me seats
together in the first place so I don't have to queue and my wife
can sit down until boarding.

Is there any reason why they cannot allow on-line seat allocations
beforehand ? The fleets are pretty standard so its not as though they need
to wait for the plane to be almost there before they can do it.

Meanwhile. How about this as an idea ?
Swipe card deposit for return of a clean seat (a la hire cars - even Easy
Car) - a £5 per seat cleeaning charge if it needs de-crumbing, a £10 if it
needs washing.
I have seen many rows that would have yielded £20 or more.
