Seat assignment AI

Hello fellow FTers,

Being a student in India for four months, I will soon experience my first Indian domestic flight: CCU-KTM with AI. I booked through the french version of Opodo.

I tried to enter my PNR on AI's website to choose my seat but it was not recognized.

Is there any way I could choose it before online check-in / the airport?

Thank you!

Call Air India, give them your name, flight number, ticket number, etc.

They should be able to provide you with a web reference code or PNR.

Yeah good luck with that... I would try contacting your travel agent (Opodo) first.

Seriously, call AI. These types of calls are usually painless. 10 minutes of your time will get you a better seat.
