Choosing exit row seats
In addition, if you wish to request an exit row seat in World Traveller or World Traveller Plus you can do so from 10 days to 4 days before your flight, subject to availability.
Exit row seats can be requested on an individual passenger basis and do not have to be purchased for all passengers on a booking.
Exit row seats are situated either next to or immediately behind the exit door. In the unlikely event of an evacuation you will be expected to assist in the opening of the emergency door.
Exit row seats are non-transferable.
We have the sole discretion to determine whether you meet the requirements to sit in an exit row seat. If you do not meet the requirements, you will be assigned an alternative seat and the amount paid for the seat will not be refunded.
If after the date of requesting an exit row seat you become unable to fulfil the requirements to sit in an exit row seat then you should contact us. You will be eligible to apply for a refund if you contact us at least 48 hours before your flight.
Gold Executive Club members, oneworld Emerald equivalents, and other passengers on the same booking can request an exit row seat free of charge, at any time before their flight.
Exit row seats can be pre-assigned at a cost of £50 or $75 per person per sector. This fee will be converted into local currency where applicable.
