Personally I think the recaro seats are a disgrace. BA are losing yet another distinguishing factor between themselves and EZ to the effect that BA ET and EZ will very soon be basically indistinguishable. Indeed, if you have an easyjet plus card and can bag the bulkhead, the EZ experience is better (and their catering trolleys are much better stocked). I still look to choose BA in Europe where possible, but it is getting more and more difficult to justify. The prospect of now being forced to play Recaro roulette on the NEOs depending on where the curtain is and how early I manage to book is just not good enough.

To those who keep suggesting that low cost carriers serve secondary or inconvenient airports, you are years out of date. EZ fly from LGW to all the main European airports. I can’t speak for FR as I draw the line at the FR experience.
