More seating choices

Prefer a little more room to yourself in the air? Or maybe you’d like to be among the first to exit the plane? When you travel on Premium Economy or Economy Class, you can choose from the following seat types to best suit your travel needs:

Solo Seats

Because a little extra room goes a long way. Our Extra Legroom Seats give you more space to stretch your legs, and feature a wider seat pitch for better comfort. These seats are available in both Economy and Premium Economy Class, from USD25.

As Extra Legroom Seats are usually found at the emergency exit rows, you must meet certain criteria before we can assign them to you. Extra Legroom Seats are non-refundable and non-transferable from one flight or passenger to another.
