Can I change my seat after online check-in?
Seat changes are often available during online check-in depending on your fare type. If you need to modify your selection after check-in, contact the airline directly or visit an airport service desk, though availability and charges may apply.
What if I cannot complete online check-in?
You can always check in at the airport ticket counter. Arrive at least 2 hours before domestic departure for traditional counter check-in. Have your identification and booking reference ready.
