All our customers are assigned a seat at check-in on a first come first served basis. However we offer a number of different seating options to provide more comfort and certainty for our customers. Please note that pre-booked seating (and meal) options are normally available to book up to 3 months before the date of your flight, by contacting our call centre
Select Your Seat
Sit together, next to a window, or in a seat that gives you more space - with us, you can say no to the seat lottery and pre-book your seats. Choose ‘Select Your Seat’ when booking with us, and you’ll get access to our new Select Your Seat service. This allows you to choose your own seat from a plan of the aircraft – from 60 days before your departure. To take the worry out of check-in we recommend that you book your seats from only £6 per passenger per flight (availability and price varies by route). This service is available online on many routes as part of the booking process, or via our call centre. Existing customers can also book their seating by visiting http://www.flightextras.thomson.co.uk.
