Seat selection (for flights)

Most airlines offer travelers the ability to select their seat during the booking process. Some seats may incur additional charges depending on the cabin class, seat selected, fare selected, or the traveler's loyalty status with the airline. 

• Seat maps: Most airlines provide us with a detailed seat map for the flight you have selected. This should help you determine which seats are available and what prices those seats are available at. 
• If seat selection is not available due to fare type: Certain fare types (e.g., Basic Economy or Saver Fare) do not allow seat selection. The booking tool clearly indicates when seat selection is unavailable due to the fare type. If you want the ability to select a seat, you may need to select a higher fare type.
• If seat selection is not available prior to ticketing: Some airlines do not allow seat selection prior to ticketing. When seat selection prior to tickets being issued is not allowed for a specific airline, the booking tool provides a notification explaining that seat selection is only possible after ticketing. Once tickets have been issued, travelers can reserve seats from the Trips page.
