Terms and conditions Extra legroom seats

Availability
Extra Legroom is subject to availability, terms and conditions. The closer you get to your flight, there will be fewer seats available for you to select from. All seats are subject to availability. In almost all cases, you will receive the seat that you’ve booked. However, there may be last-minute operational changes that mean we need to allocate you a different seat. If this happens, we will always try to choose a similar seat for you.

If you wish to purchase a seat located next to an emergency exit, you must meet a minimum set of safety requirements. Please make sure that you meet all of these requirements before buying your seat.

If you meet all of the safety conditions, we strongly recommend that you book early as seats are available on a first-come, first served basis.

The price of the seat is per person, per flight sector. In the event of an aircraft type change, Etihad will exert its reasonable efforts to re-accommodate guests in similar seats. In the case where seats in Extra legroom seats are not available, Etihad will refund the amount paid per person, per sector which cannot be accommodated.

Extra legroom seats are assigned only upon full payment of the associated seat fees and ticket fare. Payment for the Extra legroom seats will not earn any additional Etihad Guest Miles points.

Partner airlines
Extra Legroom is only available on Etihad-operated flights and not on flights operated by our partner airlines.

Refunds and transfers
If you paid for the following seats but you weren’t given them on board, you are entitled to a full refund:

  • Extra Legroom
  • Economy Standard
  • If you booked one position of seat (for example, window, middle or aisle) and you were given a different position of seat

You are not entitled to a refund if:

  • You are allocated the same type of seat, but on a different row (for example, if you booked an Economy Standard seat by the window on one row 12A and are allocated an Economy Standard seat on another row)
  • You upgraded to a higher cabin (for example, if you previously paid for your choice of seat then you either chose to upgrade yourself or accepted an upgrade)
  • If you chose one type of seat and then upgraded to a Neighbour-Free Seat or higher cabin
  • If you made changes to your flight itinerary after you bought your seat or if your itinerary was changed by another airline

Conditions
A boarding pass for Extra Legroom will only be issued once we confirm that all safety criteria has been met, as outlined in our terms and conditions.

If Etihad Guest Service staff confirm that the guest does not meet any of the required safety criteria, we may re-assign you to an Economy Standard seat before or during the journey without refund of the Economy Space reservation fees.

These important safety requirements mean that although you’ll be able to use web and kiosk check-in, you are subject to being moved if you do not meet the exit row seating criteria.
