What's new on SeatInfo

New features, improvements, and fixes. Follow along with what's new on SeatInfo.

Improved

Live seat maps that look like the real cabin

  • Seats are now drawn to the shape they actually are. A lie-flat business pod, a premium recliner and a standard economy seat each look different, and angled pods lean the way they lean on board, so a cabin reads at a glance instead of as rows of identical blocks.
  • Double-deck aircraft show both decks. On an A380 or a 747 the upper deck used to be missing entirely; now it sits below the main deck at the same scale.
  • Cabins are sized and spaced the way they are on the aircraft, so the aisle runs straight down the middle and the seat count on the page matches the seats you can see.
  • Searching a flight while signed out and then signing in now returns you to that same flight, instead of an empty search.
Improved

Seat map links you can read before you click

  • Every seat map now lives at its airline and aircraft, so a link reads like /seat-maps/qatar-airways/airbus-a350-1000 instead of a code. Airline pages moved up to match, and every old link still works.
  • When an airline flies the same aircraft in more than one cabin layout, those layouts now share one page with a switcher, rather than sitting on near-identical pages you had to compare by hand.
  • The calculators moved to names that say what they do.
Improved

Browse by airline, and see how each one's cabins compare

  • The airline list is now an A to Z directory that names the aircraft we map for each carrier, so you can tell whether your plane is covered without opening the page.
  • Every airline page now opens with its cabins: pitch, width and seat counts across the fleet, shown as ranges so you can spot which aircraft is the tight one.
  • Pages also link across to other airlines flying the same aircraft, and if we have not mapped yours yet you can ask for it in one step. Requests decide what we add next.
Improved

The blog is ours now, and it stays on SeatInfo

  • Articles are written by the SeatInfo team and read on SeatInfo. Opening one no longer bounces you to another site, so the reading list, search and categories all stay where you left them.
  • First up: how to pick the best airplane seat, what to use now that SeatGuru has shut down, and a walkthrough of how we read a cabin.
New

Sign in straight from the email

  • The sign-in email now carries a link that logs you in on the spot, so you can skip typing the 6-digit code. The code still works if you prefer it.
  • Follow a link that has expired or was already used and you land back on the sign-in page with a clear reason, instead of a dead end.
New

See where each cabin starts and ends

  • Every seat map now marks its cabins down the side of the aircraft: a colored block per cabin with its name and row range, so you can tell at a glance where Business ends and Premium Economy begins.
  • The home page preview picks up the same markings, and its cabin tabs now move the aircraft to the cabin you chose.
Improved

A warmer SeatInfo, top to bottom

  • SeatInfo has a new look: a warm orange palette, cleaner type, and a redesigned home page built around the cabin you are actually about to sit in.
  • The flight search box is easier to scan, with airline and flight number now separate fields so you can fill in whichever you know.
  • Seat map cards, pricing, and reviews were all rebuilt, and the seat map showcase now works properly on phones instead of being hidden.
  • Dark mode was retuned across every page to match.
New

Seat maps in the extension panel are now free for everyone

  • Any signed-in SeatInfo user can now open seat maps in the browser extension's side panel, with every cabin visible, no Pro plan needed.
  • Live seat availability (which seats are actually open on your flight) is part of SeatInfo Pro. Upgrade right from the panel whenever you want it.
New

See the seat map without leaving Google Flights

  • The new SeatInfo browser extension adds a See seats button to Google Flights. Click it and a side panel opens with the live, to-scale cabin for that exact flight, no new tab and no retyping.
  • The panel works like a small SeatInfo app: sign in right inside it, follow a quick intro the first time, and switch the panel language from Settings.
New

How long is the flight, and what time do I land?

  • New flight time calculator: pick two airports and a departure time to estimate how long the flight takes, plus the exact local time you land. It handles timezones, daylight saving, and next-day or date-line arrivals for you.
New

Will my bag fit? Check it before the gate

  • New carry-on size checker: enter your bag's dimensions, pick your airline, and see whether it fits the cabin, counts as a personal item, or has to be checked. Covers 40 major airlines with a link to confirm each one's rules.
Improved

Search seat maps by flight or airline, right up top

  • The seat maps page now opens with a search. Start with a flight number (like QF67) or pick an airline to jump straight to its fleet. Prefer to browse? The full catalog is still one tap away.
Improved

See your seat at a glance

  • The seat tools now show a visual read of your result: a where-you-land scale for legroom and shoulder room, and a six-factor radar for Seat score.
  • Seat insights gained charts too, a window-quality donut and a recommended-versus-avoid breakdown for each cabin.
New

Free seat tools, no sign-up needed

  • Check whether your knees clear the seat in front with the legroom fit calculator, and whether a seat feels roomy or tight with the seat width check.
  • Get the seat traits to look for on a red-eye, and grade any seat from A to F with Seat score.
  • Pick a real aircraft in the seat finder to see its best seats ranked, plus a window check, a Wi-Fi and entertainment grade, and whether paying to choose is worth it.
New

A Wi-Fi guide, a seat glossary, and more ways to compare

  • See which airlines and aircraft have fast Wi-Fi and seat-back entertainment in the new Wi-Fi and entertainment guide.
  • Look up any seat-map term in plain language with the glossary.
  • Compare two seat maps side by side, and browse every airline flying one aircraft model, or by manufacturer and body type.
New

SeatInfo now speaks 33 languages

  • Seat maps, tools, and every page are translated, with the language picker in the footer.
  • Full right-to-left support for Arabic and Hebrew.
  • Anything not yet translated falls back to English, so nothing ever comes up blank.
New

Browse the seat-map catalog by aircraft

  • Explore to-scale seat maps for real aircraft without searching a specific flight.
  • Search and filter by airline, and switch between a grid or list view.
  • Open any map for the full cabin layout, seat ratings, and amenities.
Improved

Faster, more reliable seat-map search

  • Starting a new search now cancels the previous one, so results never arrive out of order or leave the page stuck loading.
  • Changing filters updates the map instantly without making extra requests.
  • Refreshed the seat-map page on phones with a cleaner header and quick buttons for cabin details and photos.
Improved

Light and dark themes, plus a smoother Pro upgrade

  • Added a light, dark, and system theme that follows your device.
  • Cleaner pricing with a monthly and yearly toggle and clearer savings.
  • Polished the flight search box, airline picker, and date calendar.
New

Introducing SeatInfo Pro

  • Upgrade to Pro to view a specific cabin in detail: Economy, Premium Economy, Business, or First.
  • Manage your plan with a simple checkout and an upgrade prompt right where you need it.
  • Everyone can still explore the full aircraft with the free all-cabins view.
New

  • Search a flight and see a to-scale cabin map with live seat availability.
  • Filter by legroom, exits, windows, and more to find the seat that fits you.
