I know that first choice dont let you select your own seat so it cannot do it for some airlines.

Next weekend I’m travelling ABZ-LHR-BCN-AGP.
ABZ-LHR is BA, whereas LHR-BCN-AGP is with Iberia. Would we be able to use the self service check-in at Aberdeen for all 3 sectors?

Yer, i hope you can choose your own seat, but im presuming you can because otherwise, you’ll have to go somewhere to get an allocated seat. and im going to send Travel City Direct an e-mail asking them if i can use it, altough i think we might be able to.

Great news! Hopefully it will ease up the congestion at the other desks. Ill have to try them when I go with Thomsonfly and Monarch this summer.

can you pick your own seats

If its the same system of the BMI or BA ones, then yes because I did when checking-in using the machines.

I wonder if this works with things like Premiar gold and Star Class Premier, knowing you need priority tags and the like
