Considerations to Make When Booking An Extra Airline Seat
Tickets that have already been bought could be lost because of overbooking, clerical mistakes, and other things.
You must check in both places. If you don’t, they might think you didn’t show up.
It’s harder to do if you wait until the last minute to book.

Because not all aeroplane arms fold down, it may not be worth it to buy a second seat.
Some businesses find it hard and time-consuming to handle requests for last-minute trips.
How To Purchase A United Airlines Extra Seat
On United, a few different ways to buy an extra seat exist.
The best way is to call to make your reservation and book the extra seat at the same time. If you book this way, you shouldn’t have to pay anything extra.
Some people also book extra seats online by buying a ticket for a person who doesn’t exist. If your name was John Smith, the name of the person would be written on your first ticket. Your second ticket would say “EXTRASEAT” and then your last name.
You will need to show that to the person at the gate when you get on the plane.
After making a reservation, you might want to check with a person to make sure everything went well.
When you book an extra seat with United Airlines it’s worth understanding their person-of-size policy. They state:
“A customer flying in the economy cabin who is not able to safely and comfortably fit in a single seat is required to purchase an additional seat for each leg of their itinerary. The second seat may be purchased for the same fare as the original seat, provided it is purchased at the same time. A customer who does not purchase an extra seat in advance may be required to do so on the day of departure for the fare level available on the day of departure.”
Do You Have To Pay For A Second Seat On United Airlines?
Yes. You have to buy a second ticket at the same price and class as the first one. You might also have to pay to make sure your places are together and that you don’t waste money. You can do this when you make your reservation online or by calling customer service.
