Assigned seats when flying...

[luvmylittleboy2003]

Just wondering how many ppl do their own assign seating or just stay with what the airlines pick. We are flying on Delta in November and I'm wondering if I should call and pick our seats or just keep what they give us, any tips/suggestions would be great.

Go to the delta.com, click on itinerary/check in and type in your name and confirmation number. When your itinerary comes up scroll down to your seat assignments and you can click on choose your seats to see where on the plane that you are sitting and you can change your seats if you want.

It all depends on where they put you and what else is available. I usually check on the airline's site to see if there are seats available farther up front and/or in a configuration that I prefer (2 and 2 vs. 3 and 1, for example). If not, I leave it with what the airline has selected. Seatguru.com has good info on the pluses and minuses of any given seat on most planes.

I picked ours. I think if the kids were older I wouldn't care but there is no way a stranger is sitting with my babies!!

I always try to pick our seats. Everytime DL makes a schedule change I call in because it always says seats unassigned. They usually give me same seats, but if not I pick the ones I want. Do as Maine-iac shows to pick our your own. Just keep checking your flights for changes then call right away to confirm.

Thanks for the great replies. I actually pulled up our seating arrangement through Delta and we have great seating, although, I have to admit I really scared of the tiny plane we are flying on . (I'm actually going to start a new thread on this since I needing allot of 'It's okay'). Thanks again!!
