The great seat debate.
Some people won't fly without pre-booking their seats. Others refuse to pay extra on principle. I get both sides.
But if you're travelling with family and haven't booked seats, here are my two tips:
Tip one: Check in the moment online check-in opens. Set an alarm. Be ready. If you're in within the first ten minutes, you've got the best chance of grabbing seats together — without paying a penny extra.
Tip two: Get yourself a really good Personal Travel Consultant who'll do all of this for you. I set reminders for my clients and handle their check-in so they don't have to think about it. One less thing to worry about.
That's the difference between booking online and booking with someone who actually cares about your trip. ✈️
