Restrictions on Choosing "Comfort" Seats
"Comfort" seats are located in the first row or in the row by the emergency exit. Due to safety requirements, we cannot accommodate passengers of certain categories in these seats.
In the first row:
passengers with baggage that is transported in a separate seat in the cabin;
passengers traveling with pets in the cabin;
employees of the courier service and special communications service transporting official correspondence.
At the emergency exit:
in a window seat for passengers under 18 years;
infants under 2 years;
pregnant women;
passengers whose mental and/or physical condition does not allow them to quickly understand the crew's instructions and/or perform necessary actions in the event of an emergency evacuation;
passengers who are being transported under guard and/or deported/not allowed passengers;
passengers with carry-on baggage in the cabin;
employees of the courier service and special communications service transporting official correspondence;
passengers who do not speak Russian or English;
passengers with an extended seat belt.

If you belong to one of these categories and have paid for a "Comfort" seat, we will try to reassign you to a similar available seat. If none are available, we will place you in any other free seat in the cabin. Unfortunately, in this case, a refund for the seat selection will not be possible.
