You can assign seats 60 days before departure, free of charge. Seats can be assigned through Manage Flights which is available up to 24 hours before departure. To request seats before check in opens, please go to Manage Flights.
From 1 April 2014 If you are in Upper Class, Premium Economy, Economy booked in Y or B Class or you are a Flying Club Gold member, you can choose your seat free of charge any time from making your booking. Other Economy passengers who want to choose seats in advance of check in will be able to pay to do this from 1 April 2014 and this will start happening on a route by route basis. See the table of rollout by route.
" If there are no seats showing as available to request, your seats will be allocated to you at the airport. However it's worth visiting Manage Flights online at regular intervals because people do cancel and seats become available.
" Seat assignments for Seat Plus customers are made and confirmed during check in at the airport by an airport agent, which means online seat assignments and online check in are not available.
" If you are travelling with infants, you will be unable to request seats online. You can however call one of our contact centres to request seats. Whether you choose seats before you get to the airport or not, we will always make sure that every child is sat next to at least one parent or adult guardian, children will not be seated alone. We define a child as being less than 12 years.
For more information on seat selection and the changes were making to improve the way you choose your seats, please see changes to the way you choose your seats in advance.
