How do I choose my seats on the plane?
If you're flying with TUI or any of our chartered airlines*, you can pay extra to choose where you sit on the plane. You can either reserve your seats when you're booking your holiday, or you can add them later by logging into Manage My Booking. If you don't use our Select Your Seat service, your seats will be automatically allocated to you when you check in online.
Just so you know, if you're travelling with a child under the age of 12, we'll make sure they're sat with at least one adult in your party.
*Our chartered airlines are Aegean, Albastar, Corendon, Smartlynx, Titan, Avion, Freebird and Sunwing
Choosing your seats
If you've paid extra for Select Your Seat or if you've reserved Premium Seats, Extra Legroom Seats or Extra Space Seats, on some holidays you will be able to choose your seats at the time of booking, otherwise you'll be able to access the seat map immediately after you book your holiday. You can also choose your seats by logging in to Manage My Booking or the Flight Extras website.
Flights with other airlines
If you're flying with another airline not listed above, you may need to go to that airline's website directly to select your seat. Some airlines only allocate seats and boarding passes when you check in. In this case, we recommend you check in as early as possible.
You'll be able to find the name of the airline you're travelling with, the airline's booking reference, and the airline's website address on your Manage My Booking page, just below your flight details. Make sure you use the airline's booking reference to log in to their website, and not your TUI booking reference.
