How to submit your request
- Please request a reserved seat up to 5 hours before departure.
- Passengers who have not reserved a seat will have their seats decided automatically at the time of the check in. If you wish to be seated next to a travel companion, a reserved seat is recommended.
- It is not possible to change seats or make requests, even at the airport check-in counter. Thank you for understanding.
- It is possible to purchase a reserved seat via the Air Japan website (computer website/smartphone website). Advance reserved seats cannot be purchased at the contact centers. Thank you for understanding.
<Caution>
"After the purchase, advance reserved seats cannot be canceled nor can the fee be refunded at the customer’s request. Your seat will be selected automatically if you check-in without assigning a seat in advance, and you may not sit together with your companion. After seats have been reserved and assigned, there is an additional seat assignment fee every time the seating allocation is changed."
