Can I check in without selecting seats?
Can I check in without selecting seats? On most airlines, you'll get assigned a seat at check-in or at the gate if you don't already have one. Some airlines make it seem like you must (or at least should) select a seat during checkout. Frontier Airlines even has a graphic interstitial page telling you why selecting a seat is such a great option.
Can I select seat in flight after booking?
You can choose your seat when you're buying most tickets, through Manage Reservations after you've purchased your ticket, or during check-in.
Is it worth paying to select seats?
In fact, most regular airlines now charge for seat selection anyways. It's often around $10-$30 per seat per flight segment, so if you cave in and pay for that, it can add up quickly. You shouldn't do it. No matter which airline you're flying on, don't ever pay to select a seat.

Why does my Ryanair boarding pass say seat assigned at gate?
As someone else has already said, it means the obvious — that you don't have an assigned seat yet, and an agent will assign it at the gate. I recommend you take that quite literally — get your seat assignment at the gate, not at the check-in counter.

What happens if I skip seat selection?
Skipping seat selection doesn't mean you won't get a seat on the flight. You might get stuck in the middle seat if you don't pay for one. Even if seat selection is free, you might want to skip it if only lousy seats are available (see the upgrade hack” below).
Can you ask for an empty seat on a flight?
Most airlines allow you to pick a different seat all the way up until boarding begins. So keep refreshing your seat map in the app and watch for an opening. You might be able to switch yourself to a row with an empty middle seat before you board.

What are the disadvantages of online check in?
One disadvantage is certainly that many people have poor time management and arrive too late at the airport if they check in online. For some, this can lead to unwanted time pressure. On the other hand, those who still have to check in at the airport itself usually arrive early enough and are therefore over-punctual.
Do I need to print my boarding pass?
Depending on the requirements of airport authorities, you will need to present a mobile boarding pass, a paper boarding pass printed out by you or a paper boarding pass picked up from the check-in desk.
Do seats get cheaper closer to the date?
Timing plays an important part. Specifically, plane tickets usually don't get cheaper closer to the departure date. Instead, flights tend to be the most inexpensive when you book between four months and three weeks before your departure date.
