Advance Seat Reservations

If you want a window seat, prefer extra legroom, or want to sit together as a group, Swiss Airlines allows you to reserve your preferred seat in advance for an additional charge.

How to Choose Your Seat in Advance

1. During Booking

When booking your flight on swiss.com, you have the option to select your seat. This is often the easiest and fastest way to secure a seat that suits your preferences.

2. After Booking

If you didn’t select a seat at booking, you can reserve your seat later via your personal profile. A fee applies depending on the seat category, but you can make changes up to 2 hours before departure.

3. At Online Check-in

During online check-in, if no seat has been selected, the system will allocate a seat automatically. You can still change it for a fee based on your fare type and seat category.

• Important: If you booked a seat in advance, changes within the same or a lower seat category are free.

Seat Categories and Pricing

Swiss Airlines divides seats into different categories, each with specific rules and fees:

• Standard Seats: Typically included with the ticket depending on fare type.
• Preferred Seats: Located near exits or with more legroom, often available for an additional fee.
• Extra-Legroom Seats: Ideal for taller passengers, these premium seats require payment.

General Conditions

1. Seat category fees apply per segment of the journey.
2. Purchase of a higher category seat allows you to request a refund for the lower category fee via the Service Centre.
3. Seat fees are non-refundable if the flight is not commenced.
4. Online check-in only guarantees the seat category, not a specific seat number. Operational changes may occur, but you can request a free change within the same category.

Complimentary Seat Reservations

Certain passengers may be eligible for complimentary advance seat reservations according to regulations:

• Passengers traveling with a child between 2 and 12 years of age.
• Passengers with disabilities or those accompanying someone with a disability.

In these cases, Swiss Airlines ensures that seats are allocated together during check-in.
