Seating

I noticed that on a flight scheduled several months from now, there are regular priced seats (green) and preferred seats (blue) located in the same row. I’m trying to understand why that would be the case. Does it mean those seats are different in quality or comfort, or is it...

I noticed that Alaska Airlines award searches used to show the exact number of seats remaining, but now they only display a message like “few seats remaining.” This seems like a recent change, at least from what I’ve observed. Also, this looks like a great deal for Qantas...

Why does the seat map show a bunch of seats that according to the seat key are “unavailable” and then they show seats that are “occupied.” What’s the difference between the seats?

I was scheduled to fly from SFO to ORD and arrived at the gate about 20 minutes before departure. Boarding was still underway, with only two passengers ahead of me in line. When I reached the gate agent, I was told the flight was full and that I couldn't board. I explained that...

I’m flying Singapore Airlines flight SQ25 (Singapore to Frankfurt, red-eye) on a Boeing 777-300ER and planning to pay for an extra legroom seat for added comfort. The only available options are seat 49C (aisle) or 49K (window). Both are in a windowless exit-row-style section but...

I am flying Air India flight AI 2115 from Delhi to Singapore and I am trying to decide whether a seat at the back of the aircraft is a good option. I am quite tall at 6’4, so legroom is very important for me. I understand that extra legroom seats are usually better, but as a...

I saw a discussion shared from the United Airlines subreddit about a potential new economy seating product. It suggests that United may be working on a configuration where the middle seat in economy is permanently blocked. The idea would reportedly debut on aircraft like the...

I have a flight from EWR to PBI with three tickets booked in total. Two of the passengers are on one reservation and currently have seats in row 20 B and C, with 20 A still open. The third passenger is on a separate reservation, but for that traveler the seat map is showing all...

I have an upcoming long-haul Alaska Airlines flight to London Heathrow and would appreciate some firsthand seat recommendations, since the seat maps online are not giving me enough detail. I currently have Platinum status and am assigned to 33H in Premium Class. Normally, I...

I really like Air France because it seems to be one of the few airlines that allows free advance seat selection for bulkhead seats without requiring elite status. On most other airlines, I usually need Platinum or another elite tier to access bulkhead seating before check-in...

Hi everyone, This is my first time flying a long-haul (about 10 hours) on Discover Airlines in Premium Economy. I’m trying to decide between selecting a bulkhead seat for extra legroom or choosing a seat in the back row for more privacy and less foot traffic. The flight is...

I recently checked in for a Lufthansa flight and looked at the seat map, and it felt extremely restrictive. Almost all window and aisle seats were shown as unavailable, while the only remaining free seats were mostly middle seats or extra-legroom options. This created the...

I initially thought I was dealing with an automated system, so I may have misunderstood part of the situation in my original post. I later realized it might have been an actual live agent I was interacting with. After updating my post to remove personal information, I’m still...

I am a Southwest Priority credit card holder with a Companion Pass. My flight is at the end of June, and I was checking seat upgrade options. I noticed something strange: the upgrade cost for my companion is lower than mine. For example, seat 1E shows $55 for me, but only $40...

I cannot figure out the price reasoning for a flight from Frankfurt to Austin. Is there any real difference between 18G and 22G? 18G is showing 84 euro and 22G is 45. It is a Boeing 787-9. Thank you!

4 days out from the flight with 8 open D1 seats and this is the offer? To add insult to injury, I am waitlisted after buying PS and applying a GUC.

I'm considering upgrading from Economy to Premium Economy on an American Airlines flight from Charlotte to Munich for an additional $500 per person. The main thing holding me back is that we currently have bulkhead Economy seats in a two-seat section, which offers extra space...

Southwest’s pricing strategy feels completely disconnected from what many travelers expect from the airline. Fares are no longer particularly cheap, passengers now have to deal with a basic economy-style product, and seat selection fees have become surprisingly expensive. On a...

I recently flew Alaska Airlines’ new 787 Suite Class on a trip to London and was genuinely excited to try the product. Unfortunately, the seat turned out to be the most uncomfortable lie-flat seat I’ve ever experienced. For reference, I’m 5'8" / 135 lbs, so I wouldn’t consider...
