If you’re looking for up‑to‑date airplane seat maps, several websites and services have stepped in since SeatGuru shut down.
Free seat‑map websites
- aeroLOPA provides the most realistic and detailed seat diagrams, showing exact window positions, seat manufacturer details, and charging ports.
- SeatMaps lets you enter a flight number or route to populate the seat map, offers seat‑recommendation guidance, and often includes real pictures of the seats.
- Flight Seat Maps is another site that offers detailed seat maps and reviews for many airlines.
Subscription services with enhanced seat maps
- ExpertFlyer now partners with aeroLOPA, displaying richer seat‑map data such as seat pitch, seat width, cabin layout configurations, and aircraft variant information.
- Users can toggle between a detailed view and a simpler basic seat‑map display within ExpertFlyer if the enhanced view feels too busy.
These options give frequent flyers a range of free and paid tools to evaluate aircraft seating layouts and choose the best spot for their next flight.
