Do I Have to Select and Pay for Seats Again During Web Check-In After Booking with MakeMyTrip?

If you have already selected and paid for your seats during the booking process with MakeMyTrip, you typically do not need to select and pay for seats again during web check-in. Your seat selection should carry over to your boarding pass. However, it's always a good idea to confirm your seat assignment during web check-in to ensure everything is in order. If you encounter any issues, you can reach out to MakeMyTrip or the airline for assistance.

Why You Don't Need to Re-Select Seats During Web Check-In

After booking your ticket with MakeMyTrip, you have already assigned your preferred seats. At the time of booking, your seat selection is recorded and your seat is blocked in your name. This means that when you go to web check-in, the airline is aware of the seat that you have chosen. Typically, the airline will issue your boarding pass with the seat number printed on it, reflecting the seat you selected during the booking process. Even if you go to check-in your baggage, you would still need to do a web check-in, and if you cannot do that, you can get a boarding card printed out at the airport kiosk. Sometimes the airline may dispose of the boarding card issued during web check-in and issue a new one at the kiosk, with the seat number still printed on it.

Additional Tips on Seat Selection

Log in to your airline's website and check your seat assignment from time to time. This is important to ensure that the seat has not been changed by the airline and to see if there are better seats available that you can change to. It's not required to select your seat again at the time of web check-in if you have already done so while booking your ticket, as the seat you have selected is blocked in your name. However, if you have not paid for a pre-selected seat at the time of booking, some airlines may allow you to assign seats during check-in or may opt to assign any available seats.

Pricing and Seat Availability for Cheaper Flights

For cheaper flights and especially with budget airlines, seat selection is often optional or requires an additional fee. Most airlines see seat selection as an alternative source of income, especially for economy class tickets. If you have paid for a seat during booking, you do not need to select and pay for it again at the time of web check-in. But if you did not, some airlines may allow seat selection at check-in or may auto-assign a seat without your specific preference.

Do Your Seats Get Cancelled?

Your confirmed seat selection will not be cancelled unless you cancel your flight. If you do not wish to keep your seat, you may be required to pay a fee. However, if you need to change your seat or upgrade, you need to make sure to check the airline's policies or contact the airline customer service team to facilitate the process.
