Does a boarding pass mean you have a seat?

Can we get boarding pass without seat selection?

Yes, if you do not select a seat while booking a flight, you can typically get your seat number during the check-in process.

You can choose your seat when you're buying most tickets, through Manage Reservations after you've purchased your ticket, or during check-in.


What is the difference between a boarding ticket and a boarding pass?

Is my boarding pass my ticket? Not technically. Your boarding pass is your “ticket” to board the plane, but technically your ticket is generated as an “e-ticket,” or an electronic ticket, when you book your flight. Your boarding pass will be generated upon check-in, either online or at the check-in counter.


Can an airline not give you a seat?

Is it better to check-in online or at the airport?

For a short-haul flight where you are only taking hand luggage, checking in online saves a lot of time and is therefore much better than checking in at the airport. If, on the other hand, you have to check in bulky luggage, it is better to use the classic check-in at the airport for security reasons.


Do you get your seat number when you check-in online?

If you did not opt to purchase Pick-A-Seat during flight booking or via My Bookings or web check-in 4 hours prior to flight departure, your seat numbers will be assigned automatically when you check-in. Your seat number will be shown on the boarding pass upon completion of check-in.


Why do airlines skip seat I?

Seat designation
On many aircraft, the rightmost seats have letter designations HJK, skipping the letter I. This is because each seat has a row number followed by letter; letters that may be confused with numbers (I, O, Q, S, or Z) must be avoided, usually for people with dyslexia.


What happens if you don t check-in 24 hours before your flight?

If you don't check in, you won't receive a boarding pass that allows you to board the plane, and your seat might be given up to a standby passenger. The check-in process also confirms your traveler details like your passport information and frequent flyer number.
