Give Up a Seat, Earn Karma: How CoSeat Karma Points Work

· CoSeat · How it works

An elderly passenger who can't climb to an upper berth. A family split across a coach. A parent rows away from their child on a flight.

Giving up your seat makes someone's journey better. On CoSeat, it also earns you Karma Points.

How it works

  1. Verify your PNR on CoSeat. No signup and no app needed.
  2. Agree to a swap with a co-passenger.
  3. Earn Karma Points for the seat you give up.

Both passengers in a swap earn points, because both give up a seat.

Your points show as pending as soon as the swap is confirmed. They're credited automatically once your journey is over.
