Aer Lingus seat changes: keep the flight and the assistance request separate

Its disability guidance makes seating subject to availability and safety requirements; travelers with reduced mobility or service dogs cannot sit in an emergency exit row. Changing where you sit is a different request from changing the flight date or exchanging the ticket. Open the existing trip and inspect the seat options for the correct flight and passenger. Ask for a replacement seat rather than starting a flight-date change. Before confirming, check any displayed charge and ask how an existing seat payment will be handled; this review does not establish a universal free-change or refund rule. For an accessibility-related change, explain the seating need through the assistance process rather than selecting an unsuitable exit seat for extra space. Verify the final seat assignment and keep the confirmation. If the flight itself also changes online, separately re-request any special assistance, because Aer Lingus says that request does not automatically transfer.
