<p>As I’m trying to buy tickets, I see how to view what seats are available, but its not asking me to pick out the seats that we want. Clue me in?</p>
<p>Have you tried the airline’s own website? You can usually do better (and reach a live person if you have troubles.)</p>
<p>I always find my prices on Orbitz, then book through the airline’s own website.</p>
<p>I start with sidestep and then often go to the airlines website. Agree that that is where you can select seats.</p>
<p>Usually on Expedia you pick your seat after you purchase your ticket. I have purchased many tickets through them and have always been able to pick my seat.
If you are also booking a hotel try the bundling option. You can often save a ton by purchasing together.</p>
<p>I remember when I first did that on expedia, it took me a bit to realize that you just click on the seat to “claim it”- maybe you haven’t done that yet…I hope it’s that simple a solution for you.</p>
