Choosing the right seat can make your journey much more comfortable. With Capital One Travel, you may have the option to select your seats during the booking process or directly through the airline after your reservation is confirmed.
In many cases, seat selection is available while you are booking your flight through Capital One Travel. When this option is supported by the airline, you can choose seats for each traveler before completing payment.
A seat map will typically appear, showing available options across the aircraft. Some seats may be included in your fare, while others—such as extra legroom or preferred seats—may require an additional fee that will be added to your total booking cost.
If seat selection is not offered through Capital One Travel, you can usually choose your seats directly on the airline’s official website. Each airline has its own policies, and options may include:
Selecting seats in advance after booking
Choosing seats during online check-in
Automatic seat assignment by the airline
Paid upgrades for preferred seating
To manage your seat selection on the airline website, you will typically need your airline confirmation code, which can be found in your booking confirmation email or in the My Trips section of your Capital One Travel account.
Yes. If your airline supports seat selection through Capital One Travel, you can use your available rewards to pay for seat selection fees during the booking process.
Some airlines charge additional fees for choosing specific seats. The cost can vary depending on factors such as seat location, legroom, and the airline’s pricing policies.
Certain airlines or ticket types may not allow seat selection in advance. In these situations, your seat will typically be assigned automatically at check-in or by the airline.
If the airline changes the aircraft after you have selected seats, your seat will usually be reassigned automatically. If a comparable seat cannot be provided, you may receive a refund for the seat selection fee paid through Capital One Travel.
If you cancel your flight after paying for seat selection, any refund for seat fees will depend on the airline’s policies. After your cancellation is processed, you will receive a confirmation email indicating whether your seat fees are eligible for a refund.
