Best available or choose your own seats?

    When booking tickets online do you just select 'best available', or do you pick your own? I always go best available and presume they give you best and cheapest available. My husband thinks I'm a naive fool and they offload crap seats onto eejits like me.

    She's looking for the best available.
    But you're right, it would be the best of a bad lot. . .

    Priority boarding is useless until such time as they can confine all those with screaming kids to sit at the very back of the plane.

    Emergency exit all the way, that's the seat I always pick :)

    Unless with a free for all, then I let the sheep queue up for an hour pre-boarding and once everyone is on then I can easily board and take whatever seat is free. Any free for all flight I've been on has been less than 3 hours, so it makes feck all difference where one sits on these flights.

    Prioity boarding is the way to go with ryanair, after learning the hard way this year when we couldnt get 2 seats together and the pig ignorant stewardess's expected a 3 year old to sit on her own.....

    Luckily there was one decent person who gave her seat for the wife and sprog.

    Priority boarding me nut sack, just get in the standard queue early enough, when on the tarmac head for the back doors and move up trough the plane, always guaranteed row's 6 or 7..
