Is it necessary to select seat in international flight?

You can always skip seat selection and save the money, but do keep a few things in mind: 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.


Can I choose my seat when I check in?

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.

Why am I not assigned a seat?

It means the flight's overbooked and you didn't make the “defnite” list, probably because others have either paid for seat assignments or because they have longer history with the airline. In these circumstances, if everyone with an assigned seat shows up, you will not be able to fly and will be offered compensation.
