Access to Select Seating
SkyMiles Medallion members may take advantage of Select Seating preferences on most Northwest flights that offer advance seat assignments. The Select Seating benefit allows you to choose from available seats where you’d like to sit in Coach Class, such as the exit rows, the bulkhead or the first few rows in the front of the cabin.

You may extend Select Seating privileges so you may sit together with your travel companions on Northwest-operated flights and one companion on Continental-operated flights. You and your companion(s) must be booked on the same reservation. Companions of qualified Select Seating customers will lose select seats if the qualifying customer upgrades to another class of service. Children may be seated in the Select Seating area only if they qualify for Select Seating or are accompanied by a qualifying parent. Children under the age of 15 may not occupy exit row seating. Select Seating is not available on Northwest Airlink or other affiliate flights and is subject to availability at the time of seat selection.

To ensure that you receive your seating preferences, please advise the reservations sales agent or travel professional when making your reservation. Select Seating is not available on flights between Japan and Honolulu/Guam/Saipan. Customers seated in the exit rows must meet certain criteria. Airport agents will give final approval.

Access to Coach Choice
SkyMiles Medallion members may take advantage of complimentary access to Coach Choice seating 24 hours prior to departure. Coach Choice saves some preferred exit row, aisle and window seats until check-in.
