SeatBoost for Android

Overview of SeatBoost

SeatBoost is a no-cost Android app that lets travelers try for last-minute cabin upgrades via live auctions. Instead of paying full upgrade fares, passengers can place bids within a short window before departure to move up to a higher class for themselves and anyone they’re traveling with.

How the auction works

• Auctions open in the 24 hours leading up to departure, giving you a final chance to improve your seat.
• You only pay when your bid wins; if you don’t win, there’s no charge.
• Winning bids are applied automatically, so your upgraded seat is confirmed at the close of the auction.
• You can submit separate bids for yourself and for each travel companion on the same reservation.

Where it’s available and staying informed

SeatBoost currently runs on TAP Air Portugal routes, with additional carrier integrations planned. To receive announcements about new airline partners and feature rollouts, you can subscribe to their mailing list on the app’s website.

Getting started

• Download the free app from the Google Play Store on any compatible Android device.
• Link your booking or search for your flight inside the app.
• Enter the bids you’re willing to pay and monitor the live auction until it finishes.
