does alaska airlines have assigned seating?

[rusail]

Yes — Alaska Airlines does offer assigned seating, but how it works depends on your fare type. If you book a standard Main Cabin fare or higher, you can choose your seat during booking or afterward. For the Saver fare (their most basic/lowest-priced option), seats are generally assigned at check-in or at the gate unless you pay extra to pick a specific seat early.

Yes, Alaska Airlines does have assigned seating, and I actually found this out the hard way on my last trip. I had booked a flight and assumed I’d just pick a seat at the gate like I’ve done with other airlines, but when I checked in online, I realized my options were already limited. I ended up calling 844-734-0813 to see if I could switch to a better seat, and the agent was amazing.

They walked me through the different seating options, including extra-legroom seats and preferred spots, and even helped me rearrange my booking to make sure my partner and I were sitting together. It was such a relief, especially since I was traveling with a carry-on and a bit of luggage—it made boarding way less stressful.

So yes, Alaska lets you pick your seat in advance, and if you ever need help modifying your seating or booking a specific spot, calling 844-734-0813 is honestly the fastest and easiest way to get it sorted.
