Seat Selection Help

How Seat Selection Works

Most airlines offer seat selection during or after booking. Options and pricing vary by airline and fare type:

• Free seat selection — available on some premium fare types at booking
• Paid seat selection — ₹200 – ₹1,200 depending on position and flight
• Auto-assigned — if you skip selection, airline assigns at check-in
• Web check-in selection — some free seats open during web check-in (24-48h before)

Tips for Getting the Best Seat

1. Book early: Best seats go first — select during booking for maximum choice
2. Web check-in: Free seats often open up 24-48 hours before departure
3. Avoid last rows: Near toilets, seats may not recline, more engine noise
4. Families: Select seats together during booking to avoid separation
5. Business travellers: Front-row aisle for fastest deplaning
