    Fare classes

    I’d like to reserve my seat in advance, but the other benefits included in the higher fare type are not applicable to my trip. What are my options?

    You may choose Economy Light and purchase a regular seat / preferred seat reservation separately for an additional fee. If you’d like to reserve an extra legroom seat, for example, you may choose to purchase Economy Flex or Economy Light and an extra legroom seat reservation.

    We highly recommend that you always compare the costs of different Economy fare types and travel extras separately before purchasing your ticket, as they may vary by route.
