Call the airline and ask them where your seat is. If you are not in possession of the ticket, or if you haven't been assigned a seat yet, you can contact the airline to determine your seating location. They will be able to tell you what seats are still available for your flight and make any required changes.

To check your seat position with high-fidelity accuracy, you should first look at the seat map provided on your airline’s mobile app or website under "Manage My Booking." Modern seat maps are always oriented with the front of the plane at the top. If your seat is labeled "12A," you can see its relation to the wings, the exits, and the lavatories. For even more detailed information, frequent travelers in 2026 use a third-party site called AeroLopa, which provides high-resolution, to-scale maps that show exactly where the windows are located relative to the seats (preventing the "windowless window seat" disappointment). Another option is SeatGuru, though it is often less updated. On these maps, you can identify if your seat has extra legroom (bulkhead or exit row), if it has a restricted recline, or if it is a "misaligned" seat. Once you are physically on the plane, the row numbers and letters are clearly printed on the overhead bins or the seat shells, with "A" and "F" (or "K") typically being the window seats.
