Reported on the DIBB that the seat fee in Y is going up to £30 with Exit and extra leg room seats being £50.

If you have an upcoming flight, maybe today is a good time to purchase those seats!

That's interesting because when I booked my Nov flight to BGI back at the end of August the exit seat was £40 on the way out and £45 on the return. I was lucky and the nice man at VS did mine for noting as both he and I had problems and couldn't get the payment to go through.

Adding £100 to the cost of a flight would make me think twice about it in future I think.
