How to Reserve Preferred Seats on Flights in the United States – 2025 Guide

When it comes to flying, where you sit can make a big difference—whether it’s more legroom, sitting closer to the front, or just making sure you’re with your travel companion. Reserving a preferred seat on flights within the United States is easy if you know the process. In this 2025 guide, we’ll walk you through how to choose and reserve your favorite seats with major airlines like Delta, American, United, Southwest, Alaska, Spirit, Frontier, and Expedia Flights.

What Are Preferred Seats?
Preferred seats are usually located in the front rows, exit rows, or areas with extra legroom. These seats may come with perks like early boarding, quicker deplaning, or added comfort—especially on longer domestic or international flights.

When Can You Choose Your Seat?
You can usually reserve your seat:

  • At the time of booking
  • After booking, through "Manage My Trip"
  • During online check-in (24 hours before departure)

Some airlines offer free preferred seat selection depending on your fare type, frequent flyer status, or credit card benefits.

Airline-by-Airline Seat Selection Overview

  1. Delta Air Lines: Allows seat selection during booking or via "My Trips." Preferred seats like Delta Comfort+ offer more legroom and earlier boarding. Fees vary based on the route.
  2. American Airlines: Offers Main Cabin Extra and Preferred seating options. You can reserve seats any time before your flight.
  3. United Airlines: Has Economy Plus and Preferred Seating. You can upgrade during or after booking, often for an added fee.
  4. Southwest Airlines: Doesn’t offer assigned seats. Instead, you board in groups. To improve your chances of a good seat, purchase Earlybird Check-In or check in exactly 24 hours in advance.
  5. Alaska Airlines: Offers Premium Class seating with more legroom and free drinks. Seat selection is available during booking or later through your account.
  6. Spirit and Frontier Airlines: Both charge for seat selection. If you don’t choose one, you’ll be randomly assigned a seat at check-in. You can select a preferred seat (like an exit row or front row) for a fee.
  7. Expedia Flights: Seat selection depends on the airline you booked. You can log in to your Expedia account or call for help.

How to Reserve a Preferred Seat Step-by-Step

  • Log in to your airline or Expedia account
  • Go to your trip under “Manage Booking” or “My Trips”
  • Click “Select Seats” or “Choose Seats”
  • Pick your preferred seat and confirm
  • Pay the applicable fee if required
