Free Seat Selection: From 24 Hours prior to departure, seat selection is free and can be completed at check-in online or at the airport. Seat selection for Business and Premium Economy is free and can be completed at the time of booking, please advise your consultant directly on your seating preferences.
 
Seat Selection at Charge: It is now the industry standard for seat selection to be at a cost and can only be booked directly through the airline, seat costs are per person per flight. Seat selection can only be completed once your flights have been ticketed, this typically happens automatically roughly 4 weeks prior to travel. However, if purchasing a seat is very important to you please touch base with your consultant directly anytime after your final payment has been made and they can request early ticketing on your behalf, this will allow you seat selection access within 24 hours via Air Canada - Manage My Booking. Once you have made payment to Air Canada, please make sure the payment has processed correctly, otherwise your seats may not be confirmed.
