Air India has introduced the facility of advance seat selection in economy class on its long haul US-bound flights.
The available seats are identified by specific criteria including the extra leg-room and those located towards the front of the cabin, allowing passengers deplane faster upon arrival.
The airline charges an additional US$50 for preferred seat selection in economy class on US routes. The Boeing 777-300ER aircraft flying to/from Newark, New York JFK and Chicago has a total of 36 preferred seats distributed across five rows, including the emergency exit row.
A total of 29 seats are available on B777-200LR aircraft flying to/from San Francisco. Passengers availing preferred seats in emergency exit rows should be valid, 12+ years old and cooperate with the crew in case of emergency evacuation.
The provision for advance seat selection will remain available up to 48 hours prior to departure. Passengers can make their payments in local currency at Air India booking offices or through the airline’s call centre. The scheme is not available for domestic passengers or other international flights.
