This guide restates the current seat selection policy in a cleaner format. It keeps the original scope, restrictions, timing, and required actions intact.
Seat Selection
By purchasing an airline ticket, you are guaranteed to have a seat on the plane for the flight(s) that you booked. However, the possibility of selecting the exact seating is not guaranteed and is subject to both availability and the carrier’s specific policies.
What this guide says
Who this article applies to
Use this section to confirm the traveler, booking, or market scope before taking action.
- During booking, pay attention to the type of fare used. Basic economy fares are giving the best rates yet will typically restrict both changes/ cancellations and additional amenities selections such as seat assignments.
- Important Note: Seat selections before check-in may be restricted by the carrier. If that is the case, we will notify you about the limited seat map access. If the seat assignment is successfully requested with the carrier, it will place a reservation for the desired seat on the plane. This does not guarantee that the seat assignment will stay in place if it is affected by the schedule change or an irregular operation, as these changes typically affect all of the previously made arrangements.
