Sorry, we can’t allocate the seats you've selected. This is because you've not selected seats for all
passengers travelling with you on all of your flights.
Please amend your seat selection by allocating seats to all passengers and all flights on your booking.
Sorry, we can’t allocate you the seats you’ve selected. This is because there are empty seats between the ones you’ve chosen, or you’ve left a window seat unoccupied. Please change your seat selection.
Sorry, we can’t allocate you the seats you’ve selected. This is because the seats you’ve chosen aren’t suitable for infants. Please change your seat selection and choose an Infant Enabled seat.
Sorry, your seat cannot be confirmed online. Please contact our Customer Welfare Team on 02034512585 at least 48 hours before your departure time who will be happy to assist you.
Seats with Extra Space:
These are close or next to emergency exit doors, behind a bulkhead or behind a dividing wall. Emergency exit row seats are only available to passengers who are able to move quickly and operate the emergency exit without difficulty if necessary in line with European Aviation Safety Authority (EASA) regulations. Just a few things to bear in mind before you book an emergency row seat. Any passenger who because of:
- physical or mental impairment or disability
- age or sickness
- physical size
have difficulty moving quickly cannot sit in these seats. Neither can anyone:
- under the age of 12 on TUI Airways flights and under 16 on other carriers (whether accompanied or not)
- who requires an extension seatbelt
- under the influence of alcohol
- travelling with an assistance animal
These regulations have been put in place by the European Aviation Safety Authority (EASA) and are for the safety of our passengers. The cabin crew have the final say and we kindly ask that their decisions are respected.
