How can I make sure my young child and I are seated together?
Our intent is to always seat children with a parent or guardian. For this reason, we offer complimentary seat assignment for parents/guardians and children under the age of 14 who are travelling together.
It’s important to always indicate in your booking, or advise the Air Canada agent or your travel agent at time of booking that you are travelling with young children.
If you’ve already completed your reservation, you can go to My Bookings before your check-in to confirm that your child has automatically been seated with a parent or guardian. Alternatively, please contact Air Canada Reservations or your travel agent to make the necessary changes.
- In the event that adjacent seating cannot be arranged, Air Canada will offer other flight options or a full refund.

What else do I need to know?
The following terms and conditions apply to advance seat selection.
- Charges are per segment and per passenger and apply to flights operated by Air Canada, Air Canada Express and Air Canada Rouge.
- Charges are non-refundable. Exceptions:
- If you are moved to a seat other than the one you selected due to an involuntary schedule or airport change (e.g., flight disruption, aircraft change*, cancellation), you may request a refund of your seat charges.
- If you decide not to travel on a flight for which you purchased advance standard seat selection, the value of your seat selection charge will be retained and can be applied towards seat selection on a future Air Canada itinerary, provided you do not cancel your original booking.
*In the event of an aircraft change, we make every effort to assign you a seat equivalent to the one you selected. If we're not able to provide you with a similar seat, you may request a refund.
