Reserve seat

Do you prefer sitting by the window on your flight, enjoying the great view without obstruction? Or would you rather sit by the aisle so you can stretch your legs every now and then? You can select and reserve your desired seat for your Discover Airlines flight directly during booking or at check-in.

If you would like to make or change your reservation later, you can easily reserve your seat in the My Bookings section.

If you have booked a package holiday, this is possible either free of charge or for a fee, depending on the booking conditions.
Depending on whether you have the six-digit booking code from Discover Airlines or the booking code from the tour operator to hand, you can book your seats using the following methods:

  • I have a six-digit booking code from Discover Airlines:
    If you have already received the six-digit booking code from Discover Airlines with your travel documents, you can reserve your desired seat in the My Bookings section.
  • I have a booking code from my tour operator:
    Open the website myholidayextras.lh.com and enter the booking code or travel code from your tour operator along with your last name. Once you have accessed the booking, you can reserve your seats.

    Please note that this option is only available if you have booked your trip with one of the following companies or their respective subsidiaries: TUI, Dertour, Schauinsland, Alltours, Vtours, Olimar, Ltur, LMX, Anex Tour, Aurum Tours, Bentour, ETI, Ferien Touristik, Coral Travel, Lufthansa Holidays, Flamingo Tours, Frosch Sportreisen, Pepxpress and Weloveholidays.

If you have booked a package holiday through another provider, you can select your seat on the online check-in system from 30 hours before departure.

Please note that an advance seat reservation for so-called full charter flights (recognizable by a four-digit flight number starting with “2”, i.e. 4Y 2xxx) is only possible through the tour operator. In these cases, please contact your tour operator or your travel agency directly, as the Discover Airlines Service Center does not have access to these advance seat reservations.

The fees for advance seat reservation depend on the segment and can also depend on the ticket price, the frequent flyer status and the flight route. The price for the different seating categories varies depending on the length of the route. Prices may change at any time.

  • The flight is operated by Discover Airlines (4Y)
  • The flight reservation is confirmed (no waiting list reservations)
  • Advance seat reservation is possible no later than 52 hours before departure

Please note that having a confirmed advance seat reservation does not constitute a legal claim to a specific seat on board the aircraft (e.g. seat 3A). It refers solely to the selected category (e.g. standard seat, seat in the preferred seating zone, seat with extra legroom). One advance seat reservation is valid per flight segment.

As soon as the check-in for the flight in question begins (usually 30 hours before departure), you can select from any seats still available free of charge if the fare conditions permit. Please note that in these circumstances, the selection may then be limited. We recommend that you reserve your seat as early as possible. In the event of changes to the cabin or aircraft, Discover Airlines reserves the right to replace an advance seat reservation with a different, comparable seat.
