Online Seat Request

Prefer the easy access of an aisle or gazing out the window?

You can now request seats online for all Air New Zealand domestic and international flights. Whether you've just made a new booking, or have a booking that was made some time ago, you can now request seats online anytime before your flight.


Requesting seats when you book

To request seats when you book online, look for this option on the confirmation page once you have purchased your ticket. There is no additional charge to request seats.


Requesting seats for existing bookings

You can request seats for a booking previously made online (or anywhere else) by retrieving your booking from the homepage. Or request your seats for a single booking right now. And if you're an Airpoints member, you can now view and manage all your bookings (including seat requests) in one place, with myairnz. Simply login to myairnz and choose My Flight Bookings under myBookings. If you haven't yet registered with myairnz (or previously with My Account) register now.



Seat requests are only available for Air New Zealand operated flights.
