Smart seating that balances the aircraft

Smart seating that balances the aircraft

Auto-seating considers paid and reserved seats first, then distributes remaining passengers for optimal weight and balance. Passenger preferences, families, and load optimization are handled in one algorithm.

FAQ

Before you decide

Answers to the questions we hear most from airline teams

Yes. Farel's DCS is CUTE/CUPPS certified and runs on shared airport workstations. No proprietary hardware required - it integrates with any airport ground environment.
Seats are assigned automatically based on configurable rules (window preference, families together, premium placement). Agents can override any assignment manually at the counter.
At flight close-out, the system automatically processes no-shows, finalizes passenger counts, reconciles baggage, and publishes boarding totals to finance. Agents confirm and close - no manual data entry.
PNRGOV and API-PNR are generated and transmitted automatically to border authorities via SITA, ARINC, or other configured channels. PAXLST and customs declarations are also supported.
Yes. The check-in screen shows each passenger's current purchases and available extras. Agents add services with one click - bags, upgrades, priority, excess baggage, and payment is processed on the spot.
The system automatically remaps the new aircraft layout, reassigns seats based on your rules, and notifies affected passengers. No manual rebuild required.
