I’m booking a flight, but once I get to the ‘Choose a Seat’ page, there are no seats available. Does this mean I will be placed on standby?

No Seats Available at Booking: Will You Be Placed on Standby?
It can be alarming to reach the seat selection screen and see no available seats. This doesn't necessarily mean you're not confirmed. Some airlines don't release all seats during booking, or they may be assigning seats at the gate. You’re not on standby unless the confirmation explicitly says so.

Not necessarily—if you see no seats available during booking, it usually means all pre-selectable seats are taken, but you still have a confirmed ticket. The airline may assign your seat at check-in or at the gate. It doesn’t mean you're on standby unless your ticket specifically says so. Just check in as early as possible to improve your chances of getting a good seat!

No, if there are no seats available when you reach the "Choose a Seat" page, it doesn't necessarily mean you'll be on standby. It typically means that all the specific seats have been selected, but you should still have a reserved spot on the flight. The airline might assign you a seat automatically later, or there could be last-minute availability. Standby usually refers to waiting for an open seat on a fully booked flight, which is a different situation. You can also contact the airline to confirm your status or ask about seat assignments.
