British Airways offers various options for seat selection, allowing passengers to choose their seats in advance or during the booking process. Here's how you can select your seat on a British Airways flight:
- During the Booking Process:
- When booking your flight on the British Airways Seat Selection website, you'll have the option to choose your seat during the booking process. Follow the on-screen prompts and select your preferred seats based on availability.
- After Booking (Manage My Booking):
- If you've already booked your flight and want to select or change your seats, you can do so by visiting the "Manage My Booking" section on the British Airways website.
- Enter your booking reference (also known as a PNR or record locator) and your last name to access your booking.
- In the "Manage My Booking" portal, you should see options for seat selection. Follow the prompts to choose your seats.
- Through the British Airways Mobile App:
- If you prefer to use the mobile app, you can download the British Airways app and log in with your booking details. From there, you can select or change your seats.
- During Online Check-In:
- You can also select your seats when checking in online, typically 24 hours before your flight's departure time. This is a convenient option if you haven't chosen your seats in advance.
- At the Airport:
- If you haven't selected your seats in advance, you can still choose your seats at the airport. Visit the check-in counter or a self-service kiosk to make your seat selection.
- Types of Seats:
- British Airways offers various seat types, including standard seats, exit row seats (with additional legroom), and seats in the premium cabins (e.g., First Class, Club World, World Traveller Plus). The availability and cost of these seats may vary depending on your ticket type and class of service.
- Seat Fees:
- Some seats may come with an additional fee for seat selection, especially premium seats with extra legroom or seats in premium cabins. The cost of seat selection depends on the route, class of service, and seat type. You'll see the fees during the seat selection process.
- Seat Preferences:
- During the seat selection process, you can often specify your seat preferences, such as window, aisle, or a specific location on the aircraft. The system will try to accommodate your preferences based on availability.
Keep in mind that seat availability can vary depending on factors like the type of ticket you purchased and your British Airways Executive Club status. It's a good idea to select your seats as early as possible, especially if you have specific preferences or are traveling with a group to ensure that you can sit together.
