Jet Airways enhances 'seat select' feature

With immediate effect, bulkhead seats with extra leg room will now be part of the ‘seat select’ offering, which allows guests to reserve a seat of their choice for a nominal charge at the time of booking.

Guests can use the seat select feature, available on all rows*, to reserve their preferred seats right up to 24 hours prior to departure.

JetPrivilege Platinum members of Jet Airways’ loyalty and frequent flyer programme, may continue to block available bulkhead seats or any other seats, free of cost.

JetPrivilege Gold members of Jet Airways’ loyalty and frequent flyer programme, may continue to block available bulkhead seats or any other seats, free of cost for Fare Choices of “Classic” and “Flex”.

Guests will be charged INR 600 on domestic routes and INR 1000 to INR 3500 on international routes, inclusive of taxes, for bulkhead and exit row seats. All other rows will be available for a nominal charge of INR 300 on domestic routes and INR 500 to INR 1750 on international routes, inclusive of taxes.

For seats reserved outside India, guests will be charged an equivalent amount in their local currency.

Guests can reserve these seats, for travel on both domestic and international routes while booking their tickets either on the airline website, jetairways.com, the Jet Airways mobile app or through a travel agent.

In case the booking has already been made, guests can use the ‘Manage Booking’ option on jetairways.com and the mobile app to reserve their preferred seats, the company said in a statement.

Within 24 hrs of the flight departure, seats will be assigned free of charge.

Gaurang Shetty, Whole-time Director, Jet Airways, said, “Jet Airways has always endeavoured to craft the best possible in-flight experience for all of our guests. Expanding our ‘seat select’ service to include the bulkhead seats is another step towards doing that. The move is a game-changer that gives our guests the option to better tailor their flying experience to their needs and a greater say in choosing how they want to fly.”
