Advance seat selection

How do I select my seat in advance?

For packages booked to Mexico & the Caribbean, as well as Las Vegas, Hawaii, California and Orlando, you can select your seat at time of booking online.

Is there an additional cost for advance seat selection?

The price for advance seat selection varies according to seat type and destination as follows:

Economy Class
The price for advance seat selection varies based on a number of factors, such as the selected seat type, destination, and flight segment.

Example: For a consumer flying in Economy Class from Montreal to Jamaica with a connection in Toronto, there will be a cost for advance seat selection per flight segment (i.e., the Montreal to Toronto segment, the Toronto to Jamaica segment, and also for the return segments from Jamaica to Toronto and Toronto to Montreal). A trip like this would have four segments, each of which would incur a separate cost. Consumers are able to choose which segments they would like to add advance seat selection to.

Business Class
Complimentary advance seat selection for all destinations.
