Apparently it's only \u00a38 to do it online but I distinctly remember not being offered the chance to do so when I booked with Expedia. And after booking I tried on the easyJet website to no avail. <\/p>\n<p>According to a member of staff at the airport you need the booking ref no. to do this on the website, but the first we saw of this reference number was on the boarding passes themselves - which you get AFTER you check in. Hey maybe I just ballsed it up somewhere, but it's still quite a lot extra.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, none of that is very interesting.<\/p>\n<p>So that'll probably do I suppose. Be good while I'm away.
