All Nippon Airways is adding a seat selection fee for
certain fare types, allowing passengers to pay to select emergency exit seats
and window and aisle economy seats in the front of the aircraft. The fee, which
goes into effect May 29 for flights departing on Aug. 19 or later, applies to
travelers booking V, W and S Value fares and L and K Super Value fares. ANA
Diamond and Platinum service members will be exempt from the fee. The carrier
said the change enables selection of better seats for passengers booking closer
to departure.
