Want to upgrade to business class? Air India will now let you bid for seats
"After the check-in is complete, which means when the passenger is moving towards the security check, the system sees how many business class seats are vacant. And then, the system allots the seats to passengers according to priority (high bid to low bid)," he said.
Across the network, Air India operates 4,500 business class seats. Overall, Air India operates 72,000 seats per day. Domestically, the bidding system has begun on flights among six metro cities, Kharola said. Reuters
