BOOKING ONLINE
Emirates Seat Selection
Choose your seat on your flight, whether you prefer the aisle, extra legroom, or a seat with a view.
Fly in your favourite seat
Settle into a seat that’s right for you on board. Choose where you want to sit before you fly, whether it’s a seat on the aisle, extra legroom, or a window view. Book your favourite spot at the same time as your flight or later through Manage Your Booking. You can also select a seat when you check in online or on the Emirates App.
Not sure where to sit? Explore our immersive 3D seat map and seating charts to find your perfect spot.
Important notice
We will do our best to provide the seats you reserve. However, we may have to move you to a different seat if there’s a disruption, aircraft change, or for any other operational, safety or security reason. Seat reservations are therefore subject to change up until flight departure. If we move your seat and you have already paid for your selection, you may be eligible for a refund in line with our terms and conditions.
Economy Class seat selection
There are a few different seating options to choose from in Economy Class. Take a look and 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:Preferred seats are located towards the front of the Economy class cabin or on the upper deck of some of our A380 flights, so you’ll be one of the first passengers to disembark.
- Twin seat: Sit in a row of two with just a window and an aisle seat. These are at the back of our Boeing 777 flights and on the upper deck of some of our A380 aircraft.
- Extra Legroom*: Enjoy more space to stretch out with an extra legroom seat by the exit row.
Check our seat maps to see our First Class, Business Class and Premium Economy seat choices.
*These seats are allocated according to safety requirements.
First Class, Business Class and Premium Economy seat selection
It’s free to choose your seats in First Class, when you fly on a Business Class Saver, Flex, or Flex Plus fare and when you fly in Premium Economy.
If you are travelling on a Business Special fare you can select a complimentary seat when check-in opens 48 hours before you fly. Skywards Platinum members can select their seat anytime.
