Alaska Airlines Seat Selection Policy

• If you are traveling in Saver Fares (Basic economy), then you are assigned a seat only at check-in or at the gate unless you pay extra to pick one in advance. 
• If you are traveling in the Main Cabin and above, then you can make your Alaska Airlines seat selection for free at booking or later, but premium options like exit rows or extra legroom seating will cost extra if you are not elite. 
• Premium Class starts around USD 15+, depending on the route.
• First class passengers: start at about USD 39+ voltage depending on flight distance. 
• Exit row seats are typically around USD 35-45. 

How you can select seats: 

• During booking: a seat map pops up, and you pick what you like free basics or pay for the premium. 
• After booking: head to “My Trips” on the website or app-select or change your seat until check-in opens. 
• At check-in (24 hours before): you can still view/open seats and change assignments then. 
• At the airport: use self-service kiosks or ask staff at the counter for available seats. 

Seat Upgrade Policy 

Alaska Airlines seat upgrade provides several options for passengers seeking to upgrade their seats. Here are the options available:

• Booked Main or First Class? Great news: Alaska eliminated change fees for these fares back in May 2021. You just need to cover any difference in fares and taxes.
