Yes. If you have any specific medical needs (e.g. oxygen, wheelchair etc.), please contact our special assistance department for help with your seat assignment.

We'll endeavour to honour all advance seating requests, and generally you will be allocated the seat you have pre-booked. However, in certain operational situations we can't always guarantee a particular seat. We reserve the right to assign or reassign seats at any time, even after boarding the aircraft. This may be necessary for operational, safety or security reasons.

Seat fees are non-refundable. In the event that a seat fee is paid and the seat purchased or an equivalent seat (sold at the same price) isn't available on your day of travel, you may in that instance claim a full refund of the seat fee using our Refund Request Form.

Yes. Seatbelt extensions are available on all our aircraft. They can't be pre-booked but if you need one, just let a member of cabin crew know when you're boarding.

Guests requiring a seatbelt extension unfortunately won't be able to sit at an exit row.

Yes. If you wish to purchase an extra seat, you can do so online or your local reservations office will be happy to help you. Charges include the relevant fare for the extra seat as well as any relevant taxes, charges and administration fees. Baggage allowance doesn't apply for additional seats purchased on flights within Europe.

Please note that on transatlantic flights, Economy Class armrests do not fully retract into the seat-back. Therefore, purchasing an extra economy seat may not allow you to sit or lay across multiple seats. Business Class armrests are fully retractable.
