Seats in Economy Class
Arranging your seat
With most ticket types, you can choose a standard seat during check-in at no additional cost. Can’t wait to reserve your favourite seat? You can already select it during booking or in My Trip.
If you travel on a Light ticket and do not buy a seat before check-in starts, we will assign you a seat during check-in. We will do our very best to give you and your travel companions seats next to each other. Changing these seats is possible only at a fee.
Searching for the price?
We can imagine you want to know the costs of each seat type. You can find this when booking your flight or in My Trip.
The seat price depends on your travel route, the time of day of your flight, your Flying Blue level, and more factors. Because of this, it’s impossible to show prices here without knowing your travel itinerary.
Sitting next to your kids
Are you travelling with children up to 11 years old? We'll assign your seats for free at check-in and do our best to seat you together. If that’s not possible, we’ll find you the closest seats available. Of course, you’re welcome to select seats for your family at an earlier stage.
