Yes, for most seats, they charge. It varies by flight and seat. If you go to online booking, after you put in your destination, dates, etc., the next screen will show a list of flights. Next to each flight you will see "Seats". Click on this and it will display the seatmap. Hover over a seat and it will display the charge to get it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you actually been charged extra for seat selection on flights? Not disputing you, just interested. I have been charged extra when I have paid extra for the economy upgrade seats but don't recall being charged for basic economy seats... From your description, it sounds like perhaps they have changed the website for bookings since last time I made some over one year ago...? Edited August 29, 2019 by Tommy T.

Follow the steps I mentioned to see the charges. I had to pay for some, but not all, of my seats to Auckland. I ranted about this in another post. Every aisle seat is "premium" and has a charge. Window seat, no charge. Up front, all seats have charges. Exit rows, charges. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year they only charged me for the "premium" seats that offered more legroom - exit row or towards the front where they have bigger space allowance. All other seats were no extra charge. This is not a good development. However, I almost always pay for "premium" or whatever seats so I can have decent leg room. I really don't like sitting with my knees around my ears or with my arms pinned to my sides... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to always get an exit row but now that I have kids, I have to stick with them, and kids are not allowed in exit rows. Air Asia to/from Cebu was the smallest seat I have ever been in. My wife told me next time get the exit row by myself. When I got home, I looked into PAL Premium Economy for our Auckland trip. What a joke! I paid about $700 roundtrip for our economy seats, X 5. Premium economy costs about $2000 per head! It would cost 10 grand for me to take the family like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds absolutely ridiculous and outrageous! That seems way too expensive to me... Sorry, but I am laughing a bit about your AirAsia seat from Cebu... I will never fly that airline - they have a poor reputation for safety and they cater to small-size Asians - no slur intended... I guess I am a spoiled foreigner, but I need a bit of space or else I feel claustrophobic.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
