When a flight to another city or country is on the horizon, a lot of pleasant and exciting troubles appear. It's about packing your suitcase and planning your time in a new place. However, many are also worried about how the flight itself will go. Someone prefers to sleep the whole flight, and someone prefers to look out the window. But in order to travel, you need to know how to book a seat on an airplane in order to be sure that you will be able to fly exactly where you want.

Why do it?

Previously, before the active development of electronic technologies, passengers always had to be content with the seat on the plane that was offered during check-in at the airport itself. And it was a lottery - they could give a place even in the tail, even at the beginning of the plane, by the window or by the aisle. Now, fortunately, you can choose a seat yourself, just using the online check-in for a flight.

You can choose a place only from those that are still free. If you take advantage of the opportunity to choose a seat in advance, as soon as registration opens, you will be able to choose the seat that you like best, taking into account your wishes and preferences.

The airport has special terminals that allow you to print an electronic ticket. In those terminals where such equipment is not installed, you will have to print a ticket at the check-in counter. As a rule, the online check-in procedure starts about a day before the departure of the plane - this time is enough to book a cozy and comfortable seat. Online check-in closes approximately 45-60 minutes before departure.

There are many advantages to this type of registration:

• the ability to check in for a flight from anywhere, where there is access to;
• the registration period is long and amounts to a day - during this time you can have time to choose a place for yourself;
• there is a chance to have time to book a seat near the window or on the edge of the row, that is, in a way that is convenient for a person;
• at a number of airports it is possible to independently print boarding passes;
• You can arrive at the airport not three hours before departure, but only by the end of check-in for the flight.

The innovation is also not without its shortcomings. So, sometimes two people can book the same place at the same time using the Web. In this case, the place will go to the one who completes the entire registration process the fastest. Also, if a person wants to fly near the emergency hatch, he will have to book a seat only at the airport.

The main stages of the procedure

To check-in for a flight through the Web, you only need a device with Internet access, as well as the electronic ticket itself, redeemed for the plane. It is called, as you might guess, e-ticket. It contains a certain code, with the help of which registration is made for the selected flight. This ticket can be in both paper and electronic format. But still, before boarding, it is better to print it out in order to be able to demonstrate it at the airport.

The whole procedure is quite simple, if you present it in general terms. You need to go to the website of the airline on which the flight will be made. Then there, in a special field, the same ticket reservation number is entered. After that, the traveler will see a full map of the aircraft cabin, where he can choose any seat convenient for him.

On a note! Most passengers find seats next to windows or after business class seats to be the most comfortable. Someone likes to fly with their legs outstretched and prefers to be located near the emergency exits - there is clearly more free space there.

In general, a prospective passenger who buys a ticket online usually goes through three stages before getting on a flight. To begin with, he makes a ticket reservation. That is, on the company's website, he chooses the most suitable route and date of the flight and, by clicking the "Buy a ticket" button, enters all his passport data. The booking ends approximately 6 hours before the departure of the aircraft. By the way, if a person books several seats (for example, for his family, if he is not flying alone), this is not a problem - he can do everything on his own without the participation of other people. The main thing is to have information about them on hand. This is the full name and surname, passport data and date of birth.

Booking tickets can be made both on the websites of airlines and on services that accumulate data on the availability of tickets. This may be the AviaTutu.ru portal, Yandex.Air tickets, etc.

On a note! On the airlines' websites there are distinctions between passengers by age. So, people over the age of 24 are classified as adults, those who are 12-24 years old are considered youth. Passengers aged 2-12 are minors.

Tickets must be paid for after booking. To do this, follow the instructions on the airline's website. Usually, payment can be made immediately using applications such as "Mobile Banking" or services such as WebMoney. As a rule, payment is required to be made within a day. The most important thing is to double-check all the specified data before paying. It is most likely impossible to return a budget ticket or exchange it.

Attention! If a person is flying with an animal, then it is important to call the airline and clarify whether it is possible to transport a four-legged friend on this flight. This must be done before paying for the ticket.

After paying for the ticket, it will be possible to check in for the flight with a choice of seat immediately before departure. You need to choose it on the same website of the airline, in the registration section. There you need to click the "Register" button and go through the whole procedure step by step. The boarding pass is printed at the airport. If the passenger does not have luggage, then he can immediately go after that for landing. If there are bags that need to be checked in, you will first have to check them out in accordance with all the rules.

Location selection

In fact, you can also choose a seat during check-in in the traditional way, at the airport. You just need to arrive at the airport at the very beginning of check-in and go to the boarding pass counter as early as possible. Then there is a chance to agree with the employees on the most convenient place to be decorated. Less often, but still, the registrars themselves can ask where it would be more convenient for a passenger to sit. But due to the fact that many now register online, the number of places to choose from is significantly reduced by this point.

On a note! If a person flies alone, then it will be easier to choose a place. If a family or a group of friends is flying, then choosing the most convenient seats becomes more difficult. It is better to hurry with the choice, otherwise all convenient places will be sorted out.

With the standard airport check-in procedure, it is advisable to immediately submit all the passports of people flying in the same company to the registrar. In this case, it may turn out to arrange nearby places. If you go in turn, it may turn out that the seats closest to the first passenger who registered will already be occupied and the rest will have to be located in another part of the aircraft.

The advantage of registering through the Network is not only the ability to choose a seat on one plane, but also on others if there are transfers on the route. That is, there will be a certain place on all segments of the flight.

On a note! A number of airlines require you to pay a certain fee for the opportunity to choose a seat in the cabin. It can vary from a small amount to a fairly large amount.

How to get a good seat?

Step 1. First you need to decide on the class that you want or have the opportunity to fly. So, allocate first, business, economy and premium economy classes. They are distinguished by the presence of various amenities and bonuses. So, the most prestigious is the first class. Here, the seats are soft and spacious, and there is plenty of room to stretch your legs. The service is very high quality. But this is the most expensive option. Business class is similar to the first, but a little less luxurious. Economy - familiar to many, the cheapest class. Cramped between the seats, the food is ordinary, without frills. Premium economy - these are the places where, as a rule, there is additional legroom.

Step 2 Next, you need to decide on your preferences - where you want to fly (for example, in the tail or at the exit of the plane), do you want to look out the window, do you need frequent access to luggage racks, etc.

Step 3 At the next stage, you need to select the airline on whose plane the flight will be made.

Step 5 After that, on the site you need to look at the scheme of the aircraft and explore all types of places. Some seats can be spacious, some can fold out, etc.

Step 6 It is best to choose seats near the aisle or near the window, if we are talking about economy class. But this will depend a lot, of course, on personal preferences. You should not take a seat by the window if you want to sleep through the entire flight.

Step 8 After that, as online registration opens, you also need to select and book a seat on the website in accordance with the proposed aircraft cabin layout.

Step 9 At the airport, even despite the online check-in, it is still better to leave in advance. After passing all the formalities in the cabin, you need to take your seat.

Undoubtedly, online check-in of a seat on an airplane is very convenient. The main thing is that this service is available in a certain city. But even with regular registration, there is a chance to get a coveted place. The main thing is to smile and behave politely with the airport terminal employees.

Many airlines issue electronic tickets, also called e-tickets. An electronic ticket can be printed or stored in the computer's memory. The booking number is contained in such a ticket in an alphanumeric code. Reservations can be made during check-in or in advance.

Thanks to the ability to book seats on the plane, the passenger can choose the seat he likes best (some people prefer to be closer to the aisle, while others prefer to sit near the window). Reservations can be made when purchasing a ticket online or during pre-registration.

Find a flight

It is often more convenient and even cheaper to purchase e-tickets on aggregator sites. Their plus is that on the desired date you will immediately be given a list of possible direct and indirect flights. And you will only have to choose the most suitable for all your needs.

How to book a seat on an airplane online

What if you want to take a specific place? The fact is that the possibility of such a booking is not available with every airline. Some people have the “window seat” option, while others, when buying online, do not give you the opportunity to choose at all. Still others, on the contrary, allow you to choose any chair you like.

Often, air carriers leave the most convenient seats (in the front row, at emergency exits) for certain categories - tall people, parents with small children, pensioners. And if you belong to at least one of these categories, you may be lucky and so.

If, when booking an e-ticket, the site shows you a plan or diagram of the aircraft, where you can choose your favorite seats, then there are no problems. What you have indicated is up to you. And it is advisable to buy a ticket in advance - at least a month before the trip.

However, most airlines act differently - they open a few days before departure and close a few hours before boarding. In this case, you can also book a seat on an airplane using an electronic ticket without leaving your home. The advantage of this action is that you no longer need to stand in line, and you can go straight to the control. Some companies, by the way, can give their passengers nice bonuses for online check-in.

When buying and registering online, do not forget to print your ticket. This is not only a guarantee that you will quickly take a seat. It is also reference information about departure time, terminal number, etc. In the excitement of the fees, such information can easily fly out of your head.

Tricks and subtleties of booking

Some carriers (usually low-cost carriers) charge an additional fee from the passenger for booking specific seats. And its size may vary depending on the seat class and the duration of the flight. Pay attention to this moment. Buying through an aggregator can be more profitable, because such portals usually work at the expense of a commission from the airlines themselves.

There is one little trick - some companies themselves "book" the best places. This applies to the most popular flights. Then you should arrive at check-in early, and be among the first to ask the airport staff to find you a seat by the window or aisle. Most likely, your polite request will be granted.

• Do not miss:

The same principle works if it was not possible to reserve a seat when issuing an electronic ticket. The earlier you arrive, the more opportunities you have to snatch a “lucky ticket”. And remember that the front desk workers are ordinary people. A benevolent attitude and requests instead of demands can work wonders.

If something went wrong, and you are still seated on the plane in an uncomfortable place for you, do not despair. If there are empty seats left in the cabin, you can always ask the flight attendant to transfer you.
