Is there a way to buy airline tickets separately but still sit together? - Cheerful couple making online purchases at home

I have a child that is with my ex at the moment and will be flying out to see me. I want to buy one of the tickets for my child and my ex wants to buy their own so they can get a round trip and head back after dropping my kid off with me. Is there a way to buy my child's one way ticket and my ex to buy their round trip ticket but them still sit together?



Best Answer

Yes you can. Check-in online and select the seats so that you can sit together atleast one day in advance.

Last time we traveled, I did buy 2 tickets separately for me and my wife. I checked in online before the trip and i handpicked 2 seats so that we could sit together.

You may also ask at the airline counter but if the flight is full (most cases) you may be given a random allocated seat. Dont rely on this. We were refused close seats last time because the flight was full. Learnt a lesson.
