Yes, British Airways will automatically assign seats to passengers who do not choose their seats in advance. Seat assignments are typically made at check-in based on check-in time, with earlier check-in times generally resulting in better seat choices.
However, passengers can pre-select their seats for a fee, subject to availability.
Pre-Selecting Your Seat
Passengers can choose their seats in advance through the British Airways website, mobile app, or by calling customer service at +1-888-821-6817. Seat selection fees may apply depending on the fare type and route.
Benefits of Pre-Selecting Your Seat
Guaranteed Seat: You are guaranteed your preferred seat, ensuring you have the comfort and convenience you desire.
More Choice: You have a wider selection of seats to choose from, especially if you have specific preferences.
Less Stress at Check-In: You can skip the hassle of choosing a seat at check-in and arrive at the airport with your boarding pass already printed.
Automatically Assigned Seats
If you do not pre-select your seat, British Airways will automatically assign a seat to you at check-in. While this may not guarantee your preferred seat, it still ensures you have a designated seat for your flight.
Factors Influencing Seat Assignments
The following factors may influence the seat you are automatically assigned:
Check-in Time: Earlier check-in times generally lead to better seat choices.
Fare Type: Passengers with higher fare types may receive priority seat assignments.
Frequent Flyer Status: Frequent flyers with higher status may receive preferential seat assignments.
Special Requests: Passengers with special seating needs, such as those requiring aisle seats or extra legroom, should contact British Airways customer service to make arrangements.
Conclusion
While pre-selecting your seat offers more control and guarantees your preferred choice, British Airways will automatically assign a seat to you if you do not make a selection in advance. The seat assignment process considers various factors, including
check-in time, fare type, frequent flyer status, and special requests. If you have specific seating preferences, consider pre-selecting your seat to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable travel experience.
