(If you do not meet any of the following criteria, you may wish to purchase a Preferred Seat further from the emergency exit instead, subject to availability).

     · At least 15 years of age at the commencement of the journey. 
     · Fully able-bodied and capable of opening the exit doors and moving quickly or reaching and passing through the adjacent emergency exit. Persons with
      reduced mobility or any disability, whether profound or partial, and persons using portable oxygen or any other medical equipment are ineligible because
      they may endanger themselves or others.

     · In good health at the time of check-in, boarding, and during the flight.
     · Not carrying infants or using an infant seat belt, and not pregnant.
