Just fly on one of the low cost airlines, online check-in (skipping the queues) pay an extra fiver for priority boarding and you can bag an exit row or seat 1a-1c probably 80% of the time and failing that you can get a seat in the first few rows for a quick exit. Simples.
Try doing that on BA et al.Free advice and opinions - refunds are available if you are not 100% satisfied.Comment

With the better airlines having a 31 or 32 inch seat pitch as opposed to easyjets 29" you don't really need an upgrade. The extra space also means you can avoid the exit rows and have a seat that reclines, and you can recline it without pissing the person behind you off. Throw in a couple of free beers and it's money well spent IMO. Especially when it's cheaper anywayWhile you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you.
