Everyone loves a good seat on the plane, extra legroom, aisle access, or a peaceful window view. But did you know you can get the best airline seats without spending extra? At Akbar Travels, we believe great travel experiences start even before take-off. That’s why we’re sharing expert-backed tips to help you secure the best seat in the cabin, completely free of charge.
Join Frequent Flyer Programs
Major airlines reward loyalty even at the basic tier. Signing up is free and often comes with early access to seat selection. When you book your flights through Akbar Travels, we remind you to link your loyalty ID so you don’t miss out on these perks.
Check-In Early via Akbar Travels Alerts
Online check-in opens 24–48 hours before departure. Seats like those in the front row or by the emergency exit often become available at this time. If you’ve booked with Akbar Travels, we’ll send you timely check-in reminders to give you the first shot
Use the Akbar Travels Portal
We always encourage our customers to download the Akbar Travels app once they book with Akbar Travels. Many seats open up last-minute, and these apps allow you to switch to better ones instantly at minimum cost.
Ask Politely at the Airport
Whether you booked your ticket in-store or online with Akbar Travels, always speak politely to airline staff at check-in or at the gate. Solo travellers especially have a high chance of being upgraded to better seats if you ask the right way.
Travel Off-Peak with Akbar’s Smart Deals
Mid-week and late-night flights are usually less crowded, giving you more seat options for free. Akbar Travels frequently offers special flight deals on these off-peak flights, helping you save and sit more comfortably.
Know the Best Seats with Expert Support
Not sure which seats to aim for? Akbar Travels’ customer support team can guide you before booking by checking aircraft layouts and preferred seat locations. We even help you compare between airline options if you’re particular about space and comfort.
Book Through Airline Partners with Akbar Travels
We often have access to partner fares or codeshare deals that include free seat selection something the airline itself might not offer. Booking with Akbar Travels ensures you get all the hidden benefits.
Look for Airlines with Free Seat Selection
Full-service airlines often offer free seat selection during booking. Akbar Travels highlights these options clearly while you book online, so you know exactly what you’re getting no hidden charges.
Use Airline Credit Card Perks
If you have an airline credit card, let our team at Akbar Travels know while booking. Some cards offer automatic seat upgrades, and we can make sure those benefits are applied.
Solo Travellers Win More
Flying solo? You’ve got an edge. Airlines often leave the best solo seats (like aisle/window near the front) unassigned until the last minute. Book through Akbar Travels, and our team can try to secure those for you as early as possible.
With Akbar Travels, getting the best airline seat doesn’t mean paying extra. Our smart booking support, timely alerts, and insider knowledge help thousands of travelers every year fly smarter and more comfortably. So next time you book a flight whether it’s for business, Umrah, or a holiday remember that the best seat is often just a click or conversation away.
