Step-by-step guide for selecting airplane seats

Ready to take your seat selection to the next level? Here's your step-by-step guide.

  • Keep an eye out for airlines that offer seat selection. Once you've spotted the perfect flight, it's time to claim your seat.
  • On the flight search results page, simply click anywhere on the flight card to reveal more details, including a handy "seat map" link.
  • Click on the "seat map" link to scope out the available seats for your flight. Hover over each seat to uncover additional info like type and price.
  • Found the seat of your dreams? Click "Save" and head back to the search page. When you're ready, hit "Select" to lock in your flight.
  • At your fingertips: Want to reconsider your choices? No problem! Your draft trips are just a click away on the Trips page under the "Drafts" tab. Click on a trip card, hit "Edit," and you're good to go.


Just remember, while the seats you initially saw may have been up for grabs at the start of your search, they might have been snagged by another savvy traveler before you finalized your plans. If your desired seat isn't available on the map, no sweat – you can snag one during check-in.
