Hey travelers! Planning a trip with Sun Country Airlines and wondering,
How do I book seats? You’re in the right place. I’ve flown with Sun Country a few times—most recently to Miami—and picking the perfect seat can make or break your flight experience. Whether you’re after extra legroom or just want to stick close to your travel buddy, Sun Country’s seat selection process is pretty straightforward. If you need a hand or want to double-check options, their team at
(844) 734-0813 is super helpful. Let’s dive into the steps to secure your ideal spot!
Start with Your Booking
The seat selection process begins when you book your flight on suncountry.com or through their mobile app (available on iOS and Android). After entering your travel details—departure city, destination, and dates—you’ll get to a page where you can choose your seats. If you’re booking a vacation package, seat selection is part of the same flow. I remember booking a quick getaway to Cancun and being thrilled to snag a window seat during this step. If you skip it initially, don’t worry—you can always go back later.
Types of Seats Available
Sun Country offers three main seat categories: Standard, Better, and Best. Standard seats are the most budget-friendly, starting around $9, but they’re basic economy spots with no extra perks. Better seats, priced $15–$45, give you a bit more legroom or prime locations like the front of the cabin. Best seats, which can cost $20–$75, include Preferred (extra legroom) or exit row seats for those willing to assist in emergencies. On my Miami flight, I splurged on a Better seat and loved the extra space. Not sure which seat fits your vibe? Call
(844) 734-0813 to get details on availability or specific seat perks.
Selecting Seats Online
Once you’re in the booking flow, you’ll see a seat map for your flight. Sun Country flies Boeing 737s, so the layout is typically 3x3 with some variations. Click on available seats to pick your spot—green means open, gray is taken. You can filter by seat type or price, and the site shows you the cost upfront. If you’re traveling with others, select seats together to avoid being split up. I once forgot to preselect seats for a group trip and ended up calling
(844) 734-0813 to sort it out—they were lifesavers in getting us seated together.
Managing Seats After Booking
Missed seat selection during booking? No stress! Log into “Manage My Trip” on Sun Country’s website or app using your confirmation number. From there, you can add or change seats up until check-in. You can also do this at the airport, but prices might be higher, and options slimmer. A friend of mine waited until the gate to pick a seat and got stuck in a middle seat—yikes! To avoid that, handle it online or give
(844) 734-0813 a ring to secure your choice early.
Fees and How to Save
Seat selection isn’t free unless you’re booked in First Class (where seats are assigned at no extra cost). Fees range from $9 to $75 per segment, so a roundtrip could add up. To save, book seats early during the initial purchase—prices often rise closer to the flight date. Joining the Sun Country Rewards program can help, too, as you earn points on fees to redeem later. I’ve used points to offset seat costs before, which felt like a win. If you’re curious about current fees, a quick call to
(844) 734-0813 can confirm the latest rates.
Special Considerations
Traveling with kids or need accessibility accommodations? Note that during booking or call ahead—Sun Country prioritizes families sitting together and can assist with special needs. Exit row seats have strict rules (you must be 15+, able-bodied, and speak English), so don’t pick those unless you’re ready for the responsibility. Also, seats aren’t guaranteed if there’s a plane change, but their team can help reassign you if needed.
Why It’s Worth Picking Your Seat
Choosing your seat ensures you’re comfy and where you want to be—window for views, aisle for easy bathroom runs, or near the front for quick exits. Sun Country’s low-cost model keeps base fares low, but extras like seats add up, so plan wisely. Whether it’s a short hop to Minneapolis or a sunny escape to the Caribbean, a good seat makes the journey better.
