How to Choose Your Seat During Delta Online Check-In

Picking the right seat can make a flight far more comfortable. Here is how to do it at check-in.

Step-by-step

1. Open the Delta website or Fly Delta app as soon as check-in opens.
2. Enter your confirmation number and name.
3. Open the seat map.
4. Compare free seats, paid seats and extra-legroom options.
5. Confirm your choice and save your boarding pass.

Free vs paid seats

Some seats are free, while others (extra legroom, front rows) cost more. Prices vary by flight and demand.

Basic Economy limits

Basic Economy often limits seat selection, so you may be assigned a seat automatically, sometimes at check-in.

Tips for a better seat

• Check in right when it opens, since the best seats go first
• Look at the seat map for exit rows and bulkheads and read any restrictions
• Avoid seats near galleys and restrooms if you want quiet
• Travelers with children should check in early to sit together

If no good seats remain

Ask at the airport counter or gate, because seats sometimes open up closer to departure.
