Advance Seat Selection

If you are a Platinum or Gold Frequent Flyer or equivalent oneworld member, you can now preselect your seat from a range of preferential options, any time from when you make your booking, to 3 hours before your departure on Qantas international flights QF1 - 199, Qantas domestic flights QF400 - 1349 (excluding QantasLink services). On QantasLink services you can request a preference for an aisle or window seat.

Other passengers on your booking can also benefit from your Frequent Flyer status, with a choice of preferential seats.

Seat changes can be made via Manage Your Booking up to 3 hours before your flight, or via Online Check-in from 24 hours to 1 hour before your domestic departure, or 2 hours before your international departure.

With Advanced Seat Selection you can make your arrangements before you get to the airport.

To request your seat and seats for all travellers in your booking:

  1. Retrieve Your Booking
  2. Click on 'Select Seats' in the 'Your Flights' panel
  3. Select a passenger
  4. Select your requested seat from the seat map
*Important Information
  • Seat requests cannot be guaranteed as they may need to be changed for operational, safety or security reasons, even after boarding the aircraft.
  • Passengers will still be required to check in before their flight departure.
  • In the event of an aircraft change, the same or a 'like seat' may be allocated. Passengers will not be contacted if this occurs before check-in.
  • Eligible members who wish to sit next to each other but have made separate bookings will need to request their seat independently.
  • For privacy reasons, Qantas is not able to advise the seat selection of other passengers.
  • Eligible members who have specific seating requirements such as passengers travelling with a wheelchair, may still request a seat online but should also contact Telephone Sales directly to ensure they are allocated a seat per their specific need.
  • Some specific seating requests such as bassinet positions and exit row seats will not be available through advance seat selection.
  • Bassinets can be booked through Telephone Sales and are subject to availability.
