Easyjet with 4 kids, how grim?
Discussion
Never used a plane that thinks allocated seats and in flight movies are optional before! Taking 4 kids with wife to Cyprus (age 16, 11, 8, 5)
Ez jet are by far the cheapest but will speedy boarding ensure we all sit together.... It seemed too cheap an option! Doesn't everyone Just pay the extra 20 pound???

If you are smart you can avoid the speedy boarding charge, nip off to the loo just before you board, that way you'll be separated from the family, lots of seat will be taken and you'll be the opposite end of the plane, job done 
Seriously though, you'll likely be OK, we flew EZ for the first time last year, managed to sit together (although just 3 of us). Lots of spaces as long as you don't saunter up at the last minute. Also, more leg room and better seats than some of the other airlines I could name.

You sound like you are in for a surprise.Ez jet are by far the cheapest but will speedy boarding ensure we all sit together.... It seemed too cheap an option! Doesn't everyone Just pay the extra 20 pound???
"Doesn't everyone just pay the extra 20 pound???" - Are you joking? These flights are meant to be dirt cheap.. £20 is a LOT relatively speaking and barely anyone pays it. To be honest, I always look in the priority boarding queue and think "mugs", although I'm sure the feeling is mutual.
Its similar to asking whether the average Joe would you pay £2 extra for priority boarding for the bus into town. Hardly anyone would.
For the record, I'm a flyer who rarely flies on planes where allocated seating is not an additional extra, and as for inflight entertainment.. whats that?
Don't be fooled by the speedy boarding, in my experience this simply means that you are called first and are able to get on to the shuttle bus - you are then squashed in place by the 'Non' speedy boarding people who are then able to get off the bus first and on to the plane before you!

For at least a year now, the buses have a separate speedy boarding section at the front for exactly that reason.

There are some airports where this happens, but the normal procedure is to rope off the SB part of the bus to give priority to the folk who've paid...That said, I've never bother with SB and don't really understood the fixation with allocated seats - understandable for families of course, but I'd rather choose where to sit/ who not to have to sit by when not travelling as a multiple of three!
