Kuwait airways.....possible to reserve seats?

penniesforme

Hi all,

i've booked two tickets for my bf and i for a holiday in june.

just called kuwait airways up, and was told that i cannot reserve my seats (ie: i cannot pre-book my seats in the aircraft). the lady i spoke to said that its on a first come first served basis.

i just want seats that are next to each other as its a bit of a kill joy if we are seated 10 rows apart. i dont mind turning up at the airport earlier to try and get adjoining seats, but we have to transfer so i would really like to make sure that we get the adjoining seats on both legs of the flight.

Kuwait Airlines FF program is the Oasis Club, so I would check if simply signing up for that permits you to book a seat. It won't give you access to prefered seating, (bulkhead, exit row, twos, etc) but it might permit you to book seats elsewhere.

If not, I really would not worry because as long as two people check in at a sensible time, the odds on them being seated apart with any carrier is minimal.

To be honest, I'd be more worried about Kuwait Airlines safety record.

Only kidding.

At Heathrow you will get boarding passes for your second flight where you would be guaranteed seats next to other - and as Tojo says, by checking in early you are almost 100% guaranteed seats next to each other (unlike lo-cost carriers, scheduled airlines want to sit you together to minimise problems!).

However, I would be more worried about what to do in the worlds most tedious, pink airport when you are transitting!;)

I cannot imagine that there will be any difficulty about getting seats together.

A far more serious problem is that they do not serve alcohol!

daughter flew to new york with kuwait airlines

she said they were great

yes the problem is they don't sell alcohol

but they took minature vodkas in there hand luggage, as these are now allowed as they are only 50mls
