Whenever you are planning to begin a journey with Spanish Airlines then don't forget about the largest one that is Iberia. It is not only the largest but also the oldest which makes it credible too. You can enjoy both the comfort and great level of services with them. If you are concerned about the connectivity and network then don't be as their network is also extensive and we are here to tell you about their one of the most important policies that is the seat selection. Let's unwind the details below-
| Feature | Details | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Fare-dependent | Some tickets include free seat selection; others require payment. | Know whether you’ll pay or not. |
| Seat types and pricing | Seats with extra legroom / front rows / exit rows cost more. | Helps decide if upgrade is worth it. |
| Allocation after check-in | If you don’t select a seat, one is assigned at check-in (usually 24 hrs before flight). | Risks being seated away from companions. |
| Groups / children / accessibility | For bookings with children (2–12 years) or travellers with reduced mobility, Iberia ensures companions sit together (if identified). | Useful for families or special-needs travellers. |
| Refunds / changes | Paid seat selections may not be refundable; changing seats may cost more. |
The Iberia plus Elite members, families who are travelling with infants and children, passengers with special needs and passengers with reduced mobility can go for the free selection.
If you have purchased a seat then you cannot voluntarily change it until the online check in opens. Afterwards, if you do it and the new suit will be cheaper than you will not get the refund for the difference.
According to the current policy, payment for advance seat selection is made with the credit or debit card not with the Avios.
