How will the seats be allocated if I don't reserve one before?
I booked two seats for one way flight. The ticket doesn't have seat number yet so I am allowed to select any available seats for a fee usually 2 to 5 USD for a seat. What if I don't select the seats? How will they be allocated? Is it random? I booked via an online travel agency.
Company is spicejet airline.
Best Answer
They will be randomly distributed at online check-in.
Note that if you want to sit together, you can always ask someone in the plane to switch. Unless you got both middle seats...not many people would switch an aisle or window seat to sit in a middle seat. Or you pay to pick your seats.

Is it mandatory to choose seats when booking?
Even if an airline's website makes it appear that you have to pay extra for a seat, you are never required to choose a specific seat and can always opt to decline seat selection in lieu of a FREE seat assignment during check-in.How are flight seats allocated?
When booking tickets online, many airlines charge extra to choose a specific seat, meaning that people have to pay more to guarantee sitting with their companion or group. If passengers choose not to buy specific seats they may still be able to sit together but it is not guaranteed.What happens if I skip seat selection?
Skipping seat selection doesn't mean you won't get a seat on the flight. You might get stuck in the middle seat if you don't pay for one. Even if seat selection is free, you might want to skip it if only lousy seats are available (see the "upgrade hack\u201d below).Travel Hack: Choose your airplane seat for FREE!

Answer 2
Largely depends on the airline. If there are two of you, most airlines will seat you together after online check-in however some will seat you apart to try and force you to pay for better seats.
