Emirates Airlines will now charge you extra to pick your seat - Business Insider
The world's largest international airline announced that it will "institute a minimal charge" for certain economy-class passengers who wish to select their seats before their flight.
Passengers should expect to pay $15 per person for short flights and $40 per person for long-haul flights.
The policy, which will go into effect on October 3, applies only for customers traveling in economy on discounted special or saver fares.
