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.
There are a few different seating options to choose from in Economy Class. Take a look and find the right one for you.
*These seats are allocated according to safety requirements.
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 traveling 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.
We’ll automatically allocate you a seat free of charge if you have specific needs. For example, if you’re traveling with an infant or if you have medical requirements.
In Economy Class, it may be free to choose your seat in advance, or there could be an extra charge depending on the fare type or your Emirates Skywards membership tier. You can pay for your favorite spot using a combination of Cash+Miles.
