Which? Identifies Free Extra-Legroom Seats on Ryanair and easyJet

Cabin reworks add a left-side row, leaving slightly more space on the right; travelers should confirm the aircraft model plus the seat plan before booking.

Overview

  • On Ryanair’s Boeing 737s, seats D, E or F in rows 3–15 account for 33 spots that offer roughly an extra inch of legroom.
  • On easyJet’s Airbus A321neo, seats D, E or F in rows 3–13 on the right side provide about an inch more space than the left side.
  • Which? attributes the difference to airlines adding a row on the left side after removing storage lockers, narrowing space there compared with the right.
  • Passengers are advised to check the aircraft type on Google Flights and confirm the seat map on AeroLOPA because layouts differ by model and operator.
  • A viewer cautioned that some of the identified right-side seats lack windows, and the gain is modest, while both airlines monetize seat selection with free random assignment available.
