What is Delta’s Seat Selection Policy? — AirHelpLive Answers

Delta Airlines offers flexible seat selection, but the rules and fees depend on the ticket type and your loyalty status. Here’s a quick guide for AirHelpLive travelers to understand how, when, and what seats you can pick — plus how our experts help make the process seamless.

Delta Seat Selection by Fare Class

• Basic Economy:
  You usually CANNOT select a seat at booking. Seats are randomly assigned after check-in — groups are often split up. However, you can sometimes pay a small fee ($10–$45) to select your seat 7 days before departure (domestic flights only).

• Main Cabin (Regular Economy):
  Free seat selection available at booking and anytime before departure. You can also purchase upgrades to Preferred or Delta Comfort+ seats for more legroom and perks.

• Delta Comfort+:
  Includes free selection of any Comfort+ seat at booking. This upgrade offers extra space, dedicated overhead bins, and onboard extras. SkyMiles elite members may get complimentary Comfort+ seats, depending on status.

• Premium Select, First Class, Delta One:
  Ticket holders choose any seat in their cabin at no extra cost. These cabins feature premium amenities, priority boarding, and dedicated crew.

How To Select or Change Your Delta Seat

• During booking on delta.com or the Fly Delta app, you’ll see a live seat map.

• After booking, visit “My Trips” online or in-app to change or upgrade seats.

• At the airport, use kiosks or see a Delta agent for last-minute seat changes.
