Tui - allocation of extra legroom seats
Save

Hello,

I have booked and reserved extra legroom seats on a flight with Tui. At the moment we have a free seat next to us with just two weeks to go before departure, I'm just wondering if anyone knows what the chances are of the seat being allocated?

I wasn't sure if Tui give away the extra legroom seats if they have empty ones.

Thanks!

Assume someone will be sitting in that seat, they allow people to purchase these as check in as well as before hand

When we flew extra leg room the seats on the plan where 3 - 4 - 3 we picked two seats window and middle with a empty one next to us

on the day the flew all the seats on the 3 had a empty seat and people sat window middle with empty seat next to them

So with luck you will have a empty seat hope this makes sense but hopefully Angie will along to explain things a little better

Grace,

To answer your first question do not expect the spare extra legroom seat to stay empty as 1. It could be someone who has not actually chosen their seat before they fly. (Yes it does happen even with extra legroom seats including 'Select Your Seat'.

2. Passengers that check-in at the airport might be approached if they would like to upgrade their seat. So you could find it will be filled on boarding.

When we went to Aruba they were selling seats half price at airport for extra legroom etc and we had somebody next to us in the end so don’t bet on a empty seat

In that case you were on a short/mid haul configured 787 which would have been 3-3-3 throughout the whole aircraft and yes the extra legroom seats are at the front of the aircraft with 6 rows on the right........7 rows on the left........8 rows in the center.
