Last three EZY flights, all checked in about a week before travel, all allocated an F seat and one of these was the exit row.

As I was travelling alone in all three cases I didn’t care where it was in terms of aisle or window or front or back, but if it was a middle I probably wouldn’t have been too happy. The flights are so short that I don’t think I care enough to pay.

it has dispelled the myth in my head that they allocate middle seats to upsell paid seating etc. Maybe other airlines like Ryanair do this though? No idea.
