Air Dolomiti Seat Selection Help
Where you sit on an Air Dolomiti flight depends a lot on the fare you bought. On the airline's Economy tiers, choosing a specific seat in advance is usually a paid add-on, while higher fares and Business include seat selection. If you are trying to sit with your family, get extra legroom, or simply avoid a middle seat on a short European hop, this page explains how seat selection normally works on Air Dolomiti and how our independent U.S.-based team can help you sort it out before you fly.
We cannot assign seats inside the airline's system for you, but we can explain what your fare includes, what a paid seat typically costs, and the practical steps to lock in seats together so a family is not split across the cabin.
How seat selection depends on your fare
On Economy Basic and Light fares, an assigned seat is generally a paid option — if you do not pay, a seat is assigned automatically at check-in.
Higher Economy tiers and Business typically include advance seat selection at no extra charge.
Air Dolomiti operates regional Embraer aircraft on short European sectors, so there is no long-haul-style seat map with dozens of options — the choices are simpler, but sitting together still matters, especially with children.
Choosing seats together as a family or group
If sitting together matters, select seats as early as possible — the best adjacent pairs go first.
Booking everyone in one reservation makes it far easier to keep the party together than booking separately.
On short regional flights, families are often seated near each other automatically, but this is not guaranteed on the cheapest fares — paying for seats is the only way to be certain.

Extra legroom and preferred seats
Front-row and emergency-exit-row seats usually offer more legroom and are typically sold at a higher price than standard seats.
Exit-row seats carry safety requirements — passengers must be willing and able to assist in an emergency, so they are not available to everyone (for example, unaccompanied minors or passengers needing assistance).
If legroom is your priority and you fly Air Dolomiti often, compare the cost of a preferred seat against simply booking a higher fare tier that includes selection.
When and how to select seats
Seats can usually be chosen at the time of booking or later through Manage Booking using your booking code and last name.
If you did not pay for a seat, one is assigned during check-in, which opens a set number of hours before departure.
Seat maps and prices can change if the aircraft type is swapped, which occasionally happens — an assigned seat may move, and the airline reseats affected passengers.

Frequently asked questions
Is seat selection free on Air Dolomiti?
It depends on your fare. On Economy Basic and Light fares, choosing a seat in advance is usually a paid add-on; higher Economy tiers and Business typically include seat selection at no extra cost. If you do not pay, a seat is assigned automatically at check-in.
How do I make sure my family sits together?
Book everyone on one reservation and select seats as early as possible, since adjacent seats go first. On the cheapest fares the only way to guarantee seats together is to pay for seat selection; on short regional flights families are often seated near each other automatically but it is not guaranteed.
Can I choose an extra-legroom seat?
Yes. Front-row and exit-row seats usually offer more legroom and are sold at a higher price. Exit-row seats have safety requirements, so they are not available to everyone. You select them at booking or later in Manage Booking, subject to availability.
What happens to my seat if the aircraft changes?
If the aircraft type is swapped, seat maps can change and your assigned seat may move. The airline reseats affected passengers automatically. If your seat changes and you want to adjust it, contact the airline or call us and we will explain your options.
Can you assign my seat for me?
No. We are an independent U.S.-based assistance service, not the airline, so we cannot enter the airline's reservation system on your behalf. We can explain your fare's seat rules and walk you through selecting seats in Manage Booking.
