Why my flight ticket is not showing seat number?

Originally Answered: I'm booking a flight for the first time, and my ticket was confirmed, but I wasn't assigned a seat number. Should I be worried? Nothing to worry. At the the time of check -in a seat will be assigned to you and you can see your seat number on the boarding pass.

Though it might sound scary, there's one weird trick airlines don't want you to know: You don't have to select a seat. On most airlines, you'll get assigned a seat at check-in or at the gate if you don't already have one. Some airlines make it seem like you must (or at least should) select a seat during checkout.

After you finish booking your flight (or during the process, depending on the airline), you should click to view the seat map and make your pick. If you book your flight with friends or family members on the same reservation, they will likely be assigned seats nearby automatically.

The seat assignments you select are not guaranteed and will be sent to the airline for confirmation. When your reservation is complete, if the seat numbers you selected are confirmed, they will show on your invoice.
