Booking pre-bookable seats is still not 100% guarantee that you will be seated right next to each other.There is a possibility that you can be in the same row but separated by an aisle-one in each aisle seat as in Joe's 3-3 configeration example-or you can be allocated one seat behind the other.At least it safe guards you from being at totally different ends of the aircraft in odd seats.
If you don't want to pre book seats then as most people have said if you arrive at the check in desk in plenty of time they will do their best to seat you together.

Indeed being split by the aisle is considered seats together which I think is fair enough, however we did used to conisder seats behind each other as seats together, after many many many complaints we no longer adopt this, not sure if it is the same for other carriers.

I like arriving at the Check-In desk as late as possible, in the hope my wife and I will be allocated seats at opposite ends of the aeroplane.  ;-)

Ha Ha. No I work for Thomas Cook Flight Operations in their main offices at Manchester Airport. My main role is to update and amend the technical documents the pilots need and use in the Flight deck, I also supply IT support when our "outsourced" in-house IT lets us down,  there are other things to but I won't bore you all.

We travelled with First Choice in August this year and there  were 12 of us, we got to the airport 3 hours before and all sat together.We also had no problem on the return journey,even with the queues at Corfu Airport.The flight crew were the best ive ever been with.

We got there early and didn't have any problems.  The planes were far too small for me though - made me a bit nervous!

We went out last week with First Choice.  The plane was only a third full, after take off we were told we could move to the seats by the centre doors (more leg room). We were given a meal even though we hadn't paid for one. Excellent - only paid £30 each too!!

That's amazing!  Our plane was packed and we had pre-ordered food and they checked the whole lot.  I actually didn't find the stewarding staff as friendly on First Choice as I have on other airlines but then it's not that long a flight so I don't suppose it matters.
