As your business travelers’ departure date approaches, you’ll want them to double check that the seat they reserved is still available. Although they may believe their carefully chosen seat will be ready when they board the plane for their corporate flight, in some cases it will not. Why? Airlines often change which aircraft they’re flying, sometimes because of how many passengers are scheduled to fly and other times because of repair and maintenance issues.
If that happens, the seat your business traveler picked could easily be re-assigned to someone else. But if they continue to monitor their flight and the aircraft they’ll be on, they can make sure their great seat doesn’t slip away. Because airlines sometimes release seats that weren’t already reserved, they may even be able to secure a better seat for their business travels.
