<p dir="auto" data-start="2942" data-end="3061">Already purchased your ticket? You can usually retrieve your reservation and check whether seat selection is available.</p>

<h3 dir="auto" data-section-id="1mwa492" data-start="3165" data-end="3191">During Online Check-In</h3>
<p dir="auto" data-start="3193" data-end="3395">If you did not select a seat earlier, available seating may be displayed during check-in. However, waiting until check-in can reduce your choice because other passengers may have already selected seats.</p>

<p dir="auto" data-start="3444" data-end="3476">Seat-selection charges can vary.</p>
<p dir="auto" data-start="3478" data-end="3604">There is <strong data-start="3487" data-end="3561">no single seat-selection price that applies to every Air Canada flight</strong>. The amount can depend on factors such as:</p>

<p dir="auto" data-start="3967" data-end="4019">Your fare can affect how and when you choose a seat.</p>
<p dir="auto" data-start="4021" data-end="4143">Lower-priced fares may provide fewer complimentary seat-selection options, while other fares may include more flexibility.</p>
<p dir="auto" data-start="4145" data-end="4331">Because fare conditions can change, always check the conditions attached to your particular ticket instead of assuming that another Air Canada passenger will have the same seat benefits.</p>

<p dir="auto" data-start="4509" data-end="4587">Yes, if the preferred seat is available and your fare allows you to select it.</p>
<p dir="auto" data-start="4589" data-end="4733">When the seat map is displayed, look for the available window and aisle seats. Popular seats can disappear quickly, particularly on busy routes.</p>
<p dir="auto" data-start="4735" data-end="4844">If sitting by the window or aisle is important to you, selecting your seat earlier can give you more choices.</p>
<h2 dir="auto" data-section-id="x7hek5" data-start="4846" data-end="4895">How to Select an Air Canada Seat After Booking</h2>

<p dir="auto" data-start="5366" data-end="5479">In many situations, you can change your selected seat after booking, provided another eligible seat is available.</p>
<p dir="auto" data-start="5481" data-end="5574">However, the conditions can depend on your fare and the type of seat you originally selected.</p>
<p dir="auto" data-start="5576" data-end="5691">For example, moving from one standard seat to a preferred or extra-legroom seat may result in an additional charge.</p>
<p dir="auto" data-start="5693" data-end="5772">Before changing your seat, review the displayed price and conditions carefully.</p>
<h2 dir="auto" data-section-id="17jfzgg" data-start="5774" data-end="5820">What Happens If Your Selected Seat Changes?</h2>
<p dir="auto" data-start="5822" data-end="5944">A seat assignment is not necessarily an absolute guarantee that you will remain in that exact seat for the entire journey.</p>
<p dir="auto" data-start="5946" data-end="6093">Airlines can sometimes need to change seating because of aircraft changes, operational requirements, safety considerations, or other circumstances.</p>
<p dir="auto" data-start="6095" data-end="6186">If Air Canada changes your assigned seat, check your updated reservation and boarding pass.</p>
<p dir="auto" data-start="6188" data-end="6308">For questions about a changed seat assignment, <strong data-start="6235" data-end="6254">+1-833-923-5122</strong> can be used to discuss what options may be available.</p>

<p dir="auto" data-start="6353" data-end="6500">Traveling with family creates a different seating concern. Parents often want children seated nearby, while larger groups may want to sit together.</p>
<p dir="auto" data-start="6502" data-end="6636">The availability of adjacent seats depends on the flight, booking, fare, aircraft configuration, and how early the seats are selected.</p>
<p dir="auto" data-start="6638" data-end="6802">Do not assume that everyone on the same reservation will automatically receive adjacent seats. Review the seat map and select available seats as early as practical.</p>
<h2 dir="auto" data-section-id="19b73cc" data-start="6804" data-end="6837">Air Canada Extra Legroom Seats</h2>
<p dir="auto" data-start="6839" data-end="6983">For travelers who prioritize additional space, Air Canada offers seating options that can provide more legroom on eligible aircraft and flights.</p>
<p dir="auto" data-start="6985" data-end="7045">These seats can be especially attractive on longer journeys.</p>
<p dir="auto" data-start="7047" data-end="7198">However, availability and pricing vary by flight. Check the specific seat map for your reservation to see whether an extra-legroom option is available.</p>
<h2 dir="auto" data-section-id="w9bi8x" data-start="7200" data-end="7234">What If No Seats Are Available?</h2>
<p dir="auto" data-start="7236" data-end="7311">Seeing no preferred seats does not necessarily mean that you cannot travel.</p>
<p dir="auto" data-start="7313" data-end="7396">It may simply mean that the seats currently available do not match your preference.</p>
<p dir="auto" data-start="7398" data-end="7406">You can:</p>
<ul data-start="7408" data-end="7615">
<li data-section-id="5zgqk4" data-start="7408" data-end="7442">Review the seat map again later.</li>
