Travel expert Chelsea has shared an ultimate travel hack to get you the best seats on a plane without paying extra – but you must be prepared to take a risk to see it pay off
A travel expert has shared their top flight secret for nabbing the best seats – and it turns out procrastination might just be your new travel best friend.
As check-in closes, the remaining seats tend to be the more desirable ones — like those with extra legroom, states Travel Republic. Amassing over 5.5 million likes on TikTok, Chelsea advises that showing up late to check in could play to your advantage, potentially scoring you premium upfront seating or much-needed extra legroom. It's about embracing the gamble, she encourages.
She pointed out that by holding off on checking in, passengers might end up with better seats, but warned against waiting too long to avoid being left without a seat at all. "Ultimately, you do not want to be left without a seat," she remarked. Chelsea advised others to monitor the seating plan throughout the day and to check in when only desirable seats are available. The strategy has garnered mixed reactions online, with one person commenting: "I've done this before a few times and it does work! Just a risk though."
