Check-in Seat Selection
Choose the seat that suits you before you get to the airport with Qantas. Select your seat within 24 hours of departure via Online Check-in or the Check-in Kiosks at the airport for no extra charge.
If you haven't requested your seat using Advance Seat Selection, you can choose your preferred seat via online check-in or the check-in Kiosks from 24 hours up to 2 hours before an international flight and 1 hour before a domestic flight.
If you do not request a seat in advance, and you are a Qantas Frequent Flyer member and have stored a seat preference in your Qantas Frequent Flyer profile, your seat will be allocated based on your preference from remaining available seats.
Once check-in opens, you can choose where you want to sit on online check-in or via the Check-in Kiosks at the airport.

4. Passengers who wish to sit next to each other but have made separate bookings will need to request their seat independently.
5. For privacy reasons, Qantas is not able to advise the seat selection of other passengers.
6. Passengers who have specific seating requirements such as passengers travelling with a wheelchair, may still request a seat online but should also call our Contact Centre directly to ensure they are allocated a seat per their specific need.
