Don't you just hate it when you spend a fortune on airline seats only to find that you and your travel partner are seated miles apart? The Overhead Bin blog shares these tips. You can read the full article here.
Here are some other tips for getting the seats you want on an airplane:
- If a seat chart is not available when you book your flight online, call the airline or the ticketing agent as soon as possible to request seating.
- If you don’t get a seating assignment — or don’t get the seats you’d like — call back again a week or two before your flight.
- As the day of the flight gets closer, check the online seating charts or call the airline to see if other seats have become available.
- Check in online as soon as you can. Some seats, especially exit and bulkhead row seats, are not released until the day of the flight.
- Get to the airport early and check the seating chart at the check-in kiosk or ask the gate agent if any better seats are available. Some airlines will offer discounted upgrades or first-class seats at good discounts at the check-in kiosks.
- And, yes, once onboard you may find another passenger willing to swap seats to allow two people to sit together. But don’t count on it.
