Your seat reservation

You may select your seats when you book your ticket or during check-in. If you are unable to make a selection when checking in online, you will be assigned side-by-side seating at the airport. At the very latest, we will assign side-by-side seating to the passenger with a disability and their companion on the day of the Air France flight.
