- Also bookable on Orbitz, Expedia, or direct with the airline.
- Limited seats are available on each date.
- Always search one-way for 1 seat and then work the search up to the number of seats you need in order to book as many seats on sale as you can.
- Use a card like Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card, Ink Business Preferred® Credit Card, or Sapphire Reserve to earn 2-3 Chase points per dollar spent and get free trip cancellation/interruption insurance, travel accident insurance, luggage insurance, trip and luggage delay protection, and more!
- Fares are basic economy, but having a credit card for airline cards waive many basic economy restrictions. For example:
- If you pay with your Chase United Explorer card or Chase United Business Card you can bring a free carry-on, a free checked bag, and have priority boarding. With the United Club Infinite Card you’ll get 2 free checked bags and premier access.
- AA now allows carry-ons on basic economy fares, but if you have a Citi AA Mastercard, Citi AA Executive card or Citi AA Business Card you can also get a free checked bag and have priority boarding.
- Airlines are allowing free changes on all tickets, including basic economy tickets.
- You can buy extra seats if you want to guarantee empty seats next to you by making the first name of the ticket EXTRASEAT with your last name. You’ll even get double your baggage allowance!

Is getting covid included in this deal ? 32.000 cases in california today
When buying “extraseat” ticket, do I get the seat next to me, or do I still need to pay to ensure that? would be stupid if they gave me the extra seat next to someone else lol but it’s airlines so I want to make sure
Should be automatic for free at check-in, but if it’s not just let an agent know.
Even on a united basic economy?
Yes
One more thing – Booking for me, wife and 2 kids, I want to get 2 extra seats, it won’t let both same name, can I do EXTRASEAT1 and ExTRASEAT2
any way to get 2 extra seats on a reservation (4 people flying)
can’t use the same first name twice, and can’t use numbers…
