Is seat assignment free?
Emphatically, no. You will likely get assigned a seat during check-in (though you should still skip it if the airline tries to tack on a fee) or, at the very least, at the gate. Again: You don't have to select a seat in order to get a seat. You just might get stuck with a suboptimal one if you choose to skip it.
How can I check in online without paying for seat?
NO, you can self check-in without seat selection. Your boarding pass with automatically assigned seats will be sent by email 12 to 6 hours before your flight departure. It totally depends on individual airlines rule. You can do web check-in and seats can be granted upon providing your boarding pass.
How do airlines allocate seats?
Seat assignment Most airlines assign booked seats before your flight; see Planning your flight. A few airlines do not assign seats (e.g., Southwest), but do assign you a boarding group based on how early you confirm your flight on-line within 24 hours of the flight.
Is seat selection guaranteed?
Seat assignments, no matter the fare class you purchased, aren't guaranteed and could change without notice because of schedule changes, equipment swaps or other unforeseen circumstances.
Is it worth paying extra for seat selection?
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.
How do I choose my seat after booking a flight?
After you finish booking your flight (or during the process, depending on the airline), you should click to view the seat map and make your pick. If you book your flight with friends or family members on the same reservation, they will likely be assigned seats nearby automatically.
