Qantas to Expand 'Neighbor-free' Seating to These U.S. Flights
25.10.2023 - 15:01 / travelandleisure.com
Qantas is expanding its neighbor-free seating option, allowing travelers across the world to guarantee an open seat next to them.
The Australian airline will bring the free-seat program to 19 different international routes, including in the United States, Qantas shared with Travel + Leisure. Travelers who want a bit more room will now be able to pay as little as $143 to guarantee no one sits next to them on flights between the U.S. and Australia.
In the U.S., the program will be available on the following flights:
Qantas first introduced the “Neighbor Free Seating” option on domestic flights in September as a trial program. It is now available on the majority of the airline’s domestic network.
“We’ve had a really positive reaction from customers who’ve opted to travel Neighbor Free on our domestic network and customers have told us they want the option on our international flights too,” Catriona Larritt, Qantas’ chief customer and digital officer, said in a statement provided to T+L. “Whether they’re hopping across the Tasman or taking a longer flight to the United States, we think customers will value being able to secure some extra space.”
The program will only be available on flights that aren’t full and customers will be emailed 48 hours before their flight departure with the option to book an extra seat. However, there’s a catch: the free seat is not guaranteed until departure so if that seat is sold, customers would receive a refund.
Travelers who purchase options like extra legroom or who have requested an upgrade will not be eligible to choose a neighbor-free seat. Travelers with an infant or those in a group booking will also not be eligible for the program.

From Iceland To Italy, These Are The Most Active Volcanoes In The World
The strong earthquake swarm that started this week near Grindavik on Iceland's Reykjanes peninsula is caused by magma forming a dike - a vertical fissure-shaped intrusion at shallow depth, which allows the magma to rise and get closer to an eruption. This now threatens one of Iceland's most important tourism regions and is home to the iconic Blue Lagoon Resort. Civil Protection just declared a Level Orange emergency, and residents of Grindavík were told to evacuate.
