It is recommended that passengers arrive at the airport at least 2 hours prior to departure and complete
check-in (seat assignment and baggage check) at least 40 minutes prior to take-off. Check-in and boarding procedures for flights departing to
US may require more than 2 hours due to security check.
(For flights departing from the US and Europe, passengers must complete their check-in at least 1 hour prior to departure.)

seat selection 24 hours before scheduled departure time; 48
hours prior to departure time for Economy Class passengers.

time.

We apologize that the
seats near the emergency exit are unavailable for pre-assignment,due
to security and safety reasons.
Since passenger sitting next to the emergency exit must aid the passengers in a case of emergency,
the seat cannot be pre assigned.
Only the following passengers may occupy the seat next to the emergency exit.
1. Able to understand the orders given by the flight attendants in a case of emergency.
2. Healthy passengers who are able to aid other passengers.
3. Passengers who will cooperate with the flight attendants.
Even if you don't make the reservations together, you can sit together with your party as long as you check-in together.
Seats may not be assigned in the same area if the flight is full.
It's always recommended that you arrive early on the date of the departure.
