So I have not selected a seat assignment. However, these are the last two seats that are shown.
So if I don't select a seat, will one of those seats automatically be given to me? Without having to pay? OR...if I don't select the seat before hand, am I at risk for being bumped from the flight in the event it is oversold?
Any help is appreciated. Flight is on Sunday, today is late Friday night so any quick answers are appreciated! Thank you!!!
You will get a seat. When you check in, one will probably be assigned; it might be anywhere on the plane (F is extremely unlikely). If not, you'll get one at the gate.
You can always check for available seats and attempt to change if one looks better than what you have.
You can ask the Gate Agent for a better seat that opens up when someone is upgraded.
You've very unlikely to be Denied Boarding involuntarily. If the flight is oversold, Delta will ask for volunteers to take a later flight for up to around $1200, so is almost certain to get enough of them.
