Seats and cabins

What is on offer depends on three things at once: the airline, the aircraft flying that day, and the fare you hold. Some fares include seat selection. Many restricted fares charge for it, or assign a seat at check-in and nowhere earlier. An upgrade may be sold at a fixed price, offered against miles, or available only as a move onto a different fare.

An agent checks what your ticket permits, what each option costs, and whether the move changes the conditions you travel under. A higher cabin often brings a larger baggage allowance and different change rules. Both are worth knowing before the money is spent, so both are set out.

The quote shows the airline's charge and ours separately. Nothing is requested until you approve it.
