How do I check in once the Plus Seat option is confirmed? / What happens now?
You will have adjacent vacant seats or a complete row in the Economy cabin. Your seat assignment will be updated automatically, and you will receive confirmation by email.
⚠️ If you have already checked in online: Go to the check-in counter at the airport. An agent can provide you with an updated boarding pass if necessary.
After reserving my additional seats, will they be visible on my boarding pass?
No, your blocked seats will not appear individually on your boarding pass. However, to confirm that your option is active, the special notation SBLK will appear on it.
🧘Rest assured: these seats are locked in our system and cannot be selected by any other passenger.
How will the crew know that I have reserved a Plus Seat?
Our cabin crew have the updated flight plan and will easily identify your comfort zone. For greater clarity on board, a visual marker (such as a specific headrest cover) may be placed on the seat.
