We never pre book our seats,we get to airport in good time and have always had our seats together.

We returned on the 28th May but flew wih Onur

When we checked in at Teeside i asked if we could sit together the girl said yes all your seats are prebooked i thought strange you normally have to pay extra.

Then on our return journey i didnt even say can we sit together due to us been the last to check in i thought we would all be split up

But to my surprise once again our seat were automatically pre booked so im wondering is it with us booking the flights when there first come out?

exel are ok about seats and if your over eighteen and have no disabilitys you arrive at airport early ask for fire exit seat or extra leg room you can sometimes be a winner you dont ask you dont get ive done this on the outbound and inbound and got seats nae bother

we flew with onur air last week and we arrived really early before the checkin opened and had exit seats both ways, i am sure excel will do the same

[tinkerbelle]

Race Ya, only joking, I am sure we will both get what we want.

We always get to the airport in plenty of time but I am also looking at check in normally if you have prebooked seats you can book in a bit later without being worried about seats.

Re prebook

They have had enough of my money, they ain't getting any more. We normally arrive early, like to shop. OH likes a pint, too early for me.

Hi Margaret
Did you get the extra baggage allowance or did you have to pay for it we eventually got it for free as we booked last September,so the money I saved on that I was thinking of getting the prebooked seats just on the outward journey thats if we can book in later otherwise it is a waste of money.

Ive just phoned them asked them if our Sept seats are already prebooked the girl as just told me yes there are.

No need to rush to airport now to check in early

[tinkerbelle]

No, we had to pay. No tickets yet. I hope they come soon, I hate collecting at the airport but there is still plenty of time.
I have flown with Onur a few times but I hate night flights back and the day flight with XL was the same price as this one.

Ony flown with xl nce was OK.

But last year flying with Mytravel Airways, we were there 3 hours before our flight and they didn't put us together we were 2 rows apart.

Hi Margaret
We got our tickets a week ago but had to get replacements with the new baggage weight,the others arrived 2 days later and these were not printed properly so had to phone them again,to get new ones which arrived the following day and guess what these were not printed properly,so now they have said we can pick them up from the desk at the airport but will take the other ones with us, I didn't think you had a night flight.

[tinkerbelle]

I rang them and they said that the tickets for the 23rd are going out Monday. Did not book direct but through an agent.
Same flight as you.

I haven't got a night flight. I was pointing out that I did not like them so won't fly with Onur. They do day flight out and a night flight back from Liverpool and Manchester. Iv'e probably wrote it wrong.

Hi Marg
Yes I know the last time we went was with Onur but was an afternoon flight going out didn;t get there till midnight and night flight coming back was a little dearer going with XL but got day flights out and back,and we have just prebooked seats out can't take the chance being split up my wife would kill me don't have to be at the airport now till 5.30am.

How much was it?

Some airlines automatically pre-book seats.

We flew with Thomas Cook ( ) last month and travelled out with some friends (booked separately and none of us pre-booked seats). However, we checked in together we were told that our seats had been pre-booked and we were seated at different ends of the plane. Wasn't a problem though as they were able to re-arrange seating so that we were seated together.
