How do you choose a seat on a low-cost flight?
'Low cost' is used as-is in Italian: 'lo-COST'. Both words are borrowed from English.
Ask before booking a Ryanair, easyJet or Wizz Air flight when you want to understand the seat selection process and associated costs.
'Come si sceglie' uses the impersonal 'si': 'how does one choose'. 'Posto' is seat. 'Volo low cost' is a low-cost flight. Italian low-cost airlines charge extra for seat selection — random assignment is free.
La scelta del posto è inclusa?

Checks whether seat choice is in the base fare.
Quanto costa scegliere il posto?
How much does it cost to choose a seat?

Se non scelgo, dove mi mettono?
If I don't choose, where will they put me?
Asks about random assignment.
Ryanair and easyJet dominate Italy's low-cost aviation market. Both charge for seat selection. Ryanair's 'Reserve and Relax' option guarantees seats together for groups at extra cost. Without selection, families may be seated apart — always pay for this if travelling with children.
