Early seat booking

Book your seat on our website at the time of purchase and get your boarding card.

For greater comfort on board and to ensure that everyone in your party can sit together, we offer you the option of choosing your seat in advance. If your fare doesn't include this option free of charge, you can still select your seat in advance on our website for a lower fee than at the airport. Besides, when you select your seat in advance, you can get your boarding pass at the same time.

If your ticket doesn't allow free seat selection, you'll be allocated one at random when you check in (24 hours before the departure of your flight). Wherever possible, and subject to availability, we'll sit all passengers in the same booking together. To ensure you can sit in your favourite seat and guarantee greater availability, we offer advance seat selection when you make your booking for a small fee. You can also select your seat at a later time throughBooking management or Online check-in, and even at the last minute when you get to the airport.
