Seat & upgrade assistance
Seats and upgrades
Extra legroom, a window, seats beside your family or a higher cabin, requested where the airline offers them.
For bookings made through Cheap Fare Flight. Airline rules and fees apply, and nothing is changed until you approve a written quote.
Request a callbackContact usSeat and upgrade options depend on the airline, the aircraft and the fare you hold. Some fares include seat selection; many basic fares charge for it or assign seats at check-in; and upgrades may be sold at a set price or only as a move to a higher fare.
We check what your ticket allows, what each option costs and whether an upgrade changes your fare conditions. A higher cabin can bring a bigger bag allowance and different change rules, and we spell that out before you decide.
You get a quote showing the airline's charge and any fee of ours, and we act only once you approve.

Questions about this service
Is an upgrade the same as a better seat?
No. A seat selection keeps your cabin and fare. An upgrade moves you to a higher cabin and can change your bag allowance and fare rules.
Can I upgrade only one flight of a connecting trip?
Sometimes. Whether one leg can be upgraded alone comes down to the carrier and the way your fare was built. We find out, and price it, before you decide.
Do I get my seat fee back if the airline moves me?
Airlines generally refund a paid seat fee if they cannot provide the seat you paid for, though each has its own process. Tell us and we will check what the airline offers.
