In previous times when there were no seat allocations on Easyjet, there was no chaos in any airport that came close to the "Dalaman scrum" - people slowly migrating towards the gate in anticipation of the flight boarding being called, and creating a messy huddle of humans.
Now back then, there were far more people needing wheelchair assistance. Strange as I often spotted them either at the pool earlier in the week looking quite nimble, or back at the UK airport going at some pace to get to the busses and car parks.
