A family of four could spend up to £200 of their holiday spending money paying to sit together on flights when they probably don't need to, new research has found.
Consumer champion Which? has found that most people end up sitting with their fellow travellers anyway, and unless you want to guarantee particular seats, it's probably a waste of money to pay the supplement.
Which? Travel found that holidaymakers' favourites British Airways and easyJet placed over 90% of passengers with their travel companions. However, the chances of being separated in the cabin are higher if you fly with Wizz Air or Ryanair. Only 66% of Ryanair passengers who booked in groups or pairs, without paying for seat selection, said they ended up together. For Wizz Air that figure was just 61%.
