YourFare - airberlin’s fare structure
Can I sit next to my travelling companion on the aircraft, if I book in the JustFly fare category?
The JustFly fare category does not include the additional service of a seat reservation (inc. the reservation of an XL seat with more leg room) and this cannot be booked as an add-on. Furthermore our Web Check-in does not give you the option of choosing your seat, i.e. the system allocates you a seat. This allows for ecological and economic factors regarding the loading of the aircraft to be taken into consideration. For this reason we cannot guarantee that passengers travelling together will be able to sit next to each other. If you wish to reserve a seat or to choose your seat when you check in online, we recommend that you book in FlyClassic or FlyFlex fare categories. In these fare categories seat reservation is available subject to a charge or free of charge.
