How XchangeSeat Works
Connect with fellow travelers to exchange seats and get the experience you want. Simple, secure, and compliant with all transport operator rules.
What XchangeSeat Does & Doesn't Do
What We DO
Xchangeseat connects two parties seamlessly
They can directly communicate with each other to discuss and fulfill their seat-related requirements
Both parties earn reward points (XPOINTS) on Xchangeseat, which can be redeemed later for access to better seat options
What We DON'T Do
Xchangeseat does not facilitate the purchase of seats
It does not share any seat-related information unless explicitly shared by the parties themselves
Xchangeseat is not involved in or responsible for any financial transactions that may occur between the parties

How XPoints Work
Offering XPoints: When you want a better seat (window, aisle, front row), offer XPoints to incentivize the swap
Earning XPoints: When you give up a good seat to help someone, earn XPoints for being helpful
Chat Negotiation: Use pre-built messages to negotiate XPoints amounts - keeps it fair and structured
Even Swaps: If seats are equally good, no XPoints needed - just coordinate the exchange
Important: XPoints are for Community Building
XPoints are a gamification tool to encourage helpful behavior. They have no cash value and are not a payment method. All financial transactions (if any) between users happen independently outside our platform.
