Delta Airlines Extra Seat Policy

• Delta Airlines does not need a passenger who needs a seatbelt extender or cannot adjust the lower armrest for purchasing an additional seat.
• If any passenger is impeding another passenger, Delta may be asked to move to an available location in the flight that provides extra space.
• If no additional seat is available on the flight, then passengers could be asked to take to the next flight with the available seating.
• Passengers will not be provided any additional facility such as extra baggage allowance, food, complimentary drink, or other with an extra seat purchasing.

So, to prevent the above-described circumstances, it is always advised to purchase an additional or extra seat on Delta to get the personal comforts.

Rules to Add Passenger to Existing Delta Reservation

If you are adding a passenger to existing Delta reservations, then every online travel agency, including the passenger, should follow the below rules:

• It is required to create the new PNR using the passenger's last name and the EXST as the first name for an extra seat.
• Enter the PTC (Passenger Type Codes) to match the requested seats and their number accordingly. The code ADT will be used for the passenger’s seat and OTS for the additional seats.
• It is required to add the SPFD information such as Gender and Date of Birth, and it should match with the passenger.
• Both seats should be assigned next to each other to get maximum comfort without embedding any other passenger.

Delta Basic Economy Tickets

Passengers having Basic Economy fares are not allowed to purchase an extra seat on Delta because a seat assignment is must require purchasing an extra seat and Basic Economy fare does not permits seat assignment facility. So, it would help if you remembered this thing before making an extra seat request on Delta Airlines.

Itinerary Changes

If any changes are made, then a fee or Administrator Service Charge will only be paid on the passenger’s ticket, not for the seat ticket. You can calculate the price by entering the passenger’s details according to their preferred route.

Completely Unused Tickets

If a passenger holds a refundable ticket that is completely unused, then the value of that extra seat can only be used to book a new ticket for the same passenger’s name. It is not allowed to transfer the extra seat ticket as they are non-transferable.

Baggage Restrictions

Delta only allows carry-on baggage to the passengers, not for the extra seat ticket. Every passenger will be entitled to checked baggage on Delta when purchasing an extra seat or add it to their previous reservations that are applicable to each seat or ticket.

Seat Assignments Tips

It is always recommended to provide or assign adjacent seats containing two armrests if another passenger is traveling. It is recommended because exit row seats don’t have armrests and any seat belt extensions.

If you need any assistance while assigning two seats together, you can directly contact Delta reservations at 800-221-1212 and get immediate help from the representative related to extra seat or other queries.
