Previously available only to customers who purchase First and Business class tickets online, Emirates is now making this feature available to customers booking online for all classes of travel.
The award-winning airline has simultaneously launched this convenient online service across its global websites, making it immediately available to customers in more than 50 countries served by Emirates across Europe, North America, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Australasia.
Ghaith al Ghaith, Emirates Executive Vice President for Commercial Operations Worldwide said: “Travellers increasingly demand the convenience of organising their itineraries via the internet; that is why Emirates continually invests in new ways of providing our customers with high-quality and value-added online services.
Effective immediately, all travellers who purchase their Emirates flight tickets online can select and book their seats for the flight, from available seats at the time of purchase. This ensures that on the day of travel, customers can proceed to the airport with the peace of mind that they already have secured their preferred seats.
All Emirates customers can also check in for their flights between 24 and two hours in advance of flight departure via the internet, and select their seats from among those available at the time.
Customers will be informed that exit row seats on board any flight can only be allocated at airport check-in counters, as per international aviation regulations.
From its Dubai hub, Emirates currently flies to 92 destinations in 59 countries. On 1 July, the fast-growing airline launched daily flights to Venice (Italy), and later this year will also start services to Newcastle (UK), Sao Paulo (Brazil), Toronto (Canada), Ahmedabad (India) and Houston (USA).
Emirates flies five times weekly from Dubai to Malta via Larnaca in Cyprus, on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays on the Boeing 777-200.
