Caribbean Seat Selection Policy

  • You can usually select your seat in advance when you book your flight with Caribbean Airlines. This can be done during the initial Caribbean Airlines booking process, or later through their website or mobile app. 
  • You can select your seats even if you've booked your ticket months in advance. However, it's a good idea to do it early, as popular seats tend to get taken quickly.
  • While you can select a regular economy seat for free, Caribbean Airlines also offers "Preferred Seating" and "Caribbean Plus" options for an additional cost. These often come with perks like extra legroom or the ability to choose specific window or aisle seats in certain rows.
  • Ever wished for an empty seat next to you? Caribbean Airlines has a "Your Space" product that allows you to purchase an adjoining empty seat (or even a whole row!) for more personal space and comfort. This is available for economy passengers and can be bought between 72 and 3 hours before your flight.
  • If you purchase a "Preferred Seat" or "Your Space" and then change your flight, the payment for these extra seats is generally non-refundable and non-transferable. So, choose wisely. 

Seat Upgrade Policy

  • Eligible Economy Class ticket holders may receive an email invitation to submit a bid approximately 7 days prior to their scheduled departure. 
  • You can also proactively check your eligibility and submit a bid on the Caribbean Airlines website by entering your Last Name and Booking Reference. 
  • Caribbean Airlines offers preferred seating (e.g., exit row seats or specific window/aisle seats in Rows 13-19) for an additional fee. These fees typically range from 5 to
  • 45 USD, depending on the route and the specific seat chosen. Flex fare family customers may select a Preferred seat at no extra cost. 
  • The airline states that you can redeem travel starting at 5,000 miles. For upgrades, the mileage required will depend on the distance of your flight and the fare class of your original ticket. 
  • Lite fares are generally not eligible for upgrades using miles. 
  • Classic fares can be upgraded to Business Class, and Flex fares can be upgraded to Biz Flex.
  • Always ensure your ticket type and fare class are eligible for the desired upgrade. Not all tickets qualify for all upgrade options.

Caribbean Change Flight Policy

  • If you need to change or even cancel your flight reservation within 24 hours of purchasing your ticket, you can generally do so without incurring any change fees or penalties. 
  • 24 hours of change applies as long as your flight departure is at least 7 days away from the time of booking.
  • Beyond the 24-hour window, changing your flight typically involves two potential costs:
  • If the new flight you wish to change to has a higher fare than your original ticket, you will be required to pay the difference.
  • Caribbean Airlines may also levy a change fee, which varies based on your ticket type, the route (domestic vs. international), and when you make the change. 

The easiest and often quickest way to change your Caribbean flight is through the “Manage Booking” section on the official Caribbean Airlines website. You will typically need your booking reference number and last name to access your reservation. 

Caribbean Flight Cancellation Policy

  • If you cancel your flight reservation within 24 hours of purchasing your ticket, you are generally eligible for a full refund without incurring any cancellation fees. This applies as long as your flight departure is at least seven days away from the time of booking. 
  • If you purchased a refundable fare, you are typically eligible for a refund, though a cancellation fee may still apply. 
  • Most economy fares are non-refundable in the Caribbean airlines cancellation policy. If you cancel a non-refundable ticket, you generally will not receive a refund for the fare portion of your ticket. However, Caribbean Airlines usually refunds the taxes and fees associated with the ticket, even for non-refundable fares.
  • For non-refundable tickets, instead of a cash refund for the fare, Caribbean Airlines may offer a travel credit (or e-credit) for the value of your ticket (minus any cancellation fees). This credit can then be used towards a future flight with Caribbean Airlines. 
  • If you fail to cancel your flight reservation prior to the scheduled departure time and do not show up for your flight (a “no-show”), your ticket will generally lose all value. This means you will not be eligible for a refund, even for the tax portion, and you will not receive a travel credit.
