Seat Options

We provide three types of seating options for our Customers to choose from. Choosing your own seat is optional, if you do not choose a seat, one will be assigned for you upon check-in. If you would like to guarantee a specific seat, we encourage you to do so, however, a nominal fee will apply. If you would like to upgrade your seats after initial booking, the original seat fees will be forfeited. Refunds are not applicable to fee difference in the event of seat changes.
