You can assign seats on any airline that participates in the Worldspan seat program. Each airline has specific guidelines for making advance seat assignments.

There may be differences in the availability of seat maps depending on the carrier and also whether your seat map request is made before or after booking. See Viewing Seat Maps Before Booking for more information.

Unless you request specific seat numbers, Worldspan assumes the passenger prefers a window seat for all confirmed air segments. If no window seats are available, Worldspan assigns an aisle seat, followed by a middle seat.

If more than one passenger is booked in a PNR, at least one window seat is assigned along with any adjacent seats, if available.
