If you decide not to book a seat in advance, we will assign you one randomly free of charge during check-in.
If there are 2 or more passengers in the booking and the seat is selected only for one of them, all other passengers will be assigned seats at random.
In the event of a voluntary change in the flight date, a purchased selected seat onboard is not guaranteed and the cost of the service will not be refunded. You will need to purchase the seat selection again on a changed date.
The hand baggage shelf above the passenger seat is not assigned to a seat. The shelf above seats 1D, 1E, and 1F is occupied due to the mandatory transportation of rescue equipment in accordance with the airline's flight safety rules.
- Emergency exit row seats are either next to or immediately behind the exit door.

If it’s not possible to provide a similar seat type (premium seats on 1st and emergency exit rows, seats on rows 2-4, and standard seats on 5-11/14-30 rows) due to aircraft change, flight delay, or cancellation, the passenger can make a refund. A full refund is permitted, and the passenger is transferred to a free seat.
To proceed with a refund please contact the sales agent that issued the service and provide a scanned copy of your boarding pass with the Security service stamp. We cannot process refund applications at the airport or on board.
Refunds are NOT available in the following cases:
