Emirates Seat Selection
Choose your seat on the flight, whether you prefer the aisle, extra legroom, or a seat with a view.
Important notice
It’s still possible to choose your seat on selected flights. However, due to current circumstances and for operational reasons we may need to change your seat before departure or on board. If this happens and you have paid to select your seat, you will be eligible for a refund in line with our terms and conditions.
Fly in your favourite seat
Settle into a seat that’s right for you when you join us on board. Choose where you want to sit before you fly and relax in your favourite spot, whether it’s a seat on the aisle, extra legroom, or a seat with a window view.
Book your seat with your flight, or later through Manage Your Booking or on the Emirates App. You can also select a seat when you check in online.
Not sure where to pick? Get a feel for where you want to sit by exploring our seating charts and immersive 3D seat maps.

There are a few seating options when you fly in Economy Class. Have a look at the different types of Economy Class seats so you can find the right one for you.
Regular seat: Relax in one of our regular seats designed for ultimate comfort, whether it’s by the window, in the middle, or on the aisle.
Preferred seat: Be one of the first to disembark by choosing a preferred seat at the front of the plane or on the upper deck of some of our A380 flights.
