Air India’s seat selection refund policy depends on the fare type and reason for cancellation [1] [833] [770] [3304]. If the airline changes your flight, cancels it, or switches aircraft, you’ll usually receive a full refund for the seat fee [1] [833] [770] [3304]. However, voluntary changes or cancellations by the passenger are generally non-refundable [1] [833] [770] [3304].
FAQ 1: When can I claim a seat selection refund on Air India?
You can get a seat selection refund if Air India cancels your flight, changes your aircraft, or your chosen seat becomes unavailable due to operational reasons [1] [833] [770] [3304]. However, refunds aren’t granted if you modify or cancel your booking voluntarily [1] [833] [770] [3304]. Always check the fare rules before paying [1] [833] [770] [3304].
FAQ 2: How can I apply for a seat selection refund from Air India?
Visit the Air India website and go to the “Manage Booking” section or contact their customer support directly [1] [833] [770] [3304]. Provide your booking reference, email, and payment proof [1] [833] [770] [3304]. Refunds are typically processed within 7 to 10 business days [1] [833] [770] [3304].
FAQ 3: What happens if Air India changes my paid seat?
If Air India reassigns your pre-selected seat due to operational adjustments, they’ll offer a refund or a comparable seat [1] [833] [770] [3304]. Refunds are automatic if the seat type is unavailable [1] [833] [770] [3304]. For voluntary seat changes, no refund applies [1] [833] [770] [3304].
