What's new on SeatInfo

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

New

Search by flight number from the home page

  • Know your flight number? Pick the airline, type the number and the date, and its seat map opens straight away. We find where it flies that day for you.
  • If the flight flies more than one leg that day, pick yours. If it does not fly that day, we show similar flights you can open instead.
  • Turn on Live seats to pick a cabin right under the search.
New

Search by route and pick your flight from the day's schedule

  • Enter where you fly from, where you fly to and the date on the home page. We list that day's flights with departure times and aircraft, and you can narrow them by airline.
  • Pick your cabin at the top of the same window, then your flight, and it opens on a seat-map page of its own, straight on that cabin, with the cabin switch right at the top.
  • Choose your cabin right in the search box before you search, and the flight list opens straight on it.
  • If your flight is not listed, add the airline and flight number in the same window and go straight to its seat map.
  • The live seat map page searches the same way, with your route and date on one line and your cabin right under it.
Improved

Seat map guides for 39 real flights

  • The flight guides now cover 39 real flights on 23 airlines, from Emirates A380 routes to JetBlue's A321neo across the Atlantic, each with its own to-scale seat map.
  • Every guide answers the questions travelers ask about that exact flight, such as which rows break the cabin's usual seat pattern, which seats have no window and which sit next to a galley.
Improved

Flight guides now answer more before you book

  • Every flight guide now opens with the facts: the route, an estimated flight time, the aircraft and the best seat in every cabin. Pick your travel date right there to open the live seat map for your own flight.
  • Each cabin lists its best seats and the ones to avoid, with a pick for a window, an aisle, sleeping and sitting together. Row-by-row notes flag the rows worth knowing about, like an exit row with extra legroom or a row next to the lavatories.
  • Compare other flights on the same route, jump straight to the return flight, and find more flights from the same airline, right from the guide.
Improved

Browse flight seat maps by airline, aircraft or airport

  • Flights now has its own place in the main menu, and the flights page leads with a search: type a flight number, an airline or a route like London to New York and go straight to the guide.
  • Browse every flight guide by airline, by aircraft or by the airport you are leaving from, or scan the full list with each flight's estimated flight time and its best premium and economy seats.
  • New seat rankings compare flights on the best business seat, the most economy legroom and the longest distance, and every guide now lists its return flight first when we have mapped it.
New

Seat maps by flight number

  • Search a flight number like EK203 or AA100 and open a guide to that flight: the aircraft it is scheduled on, every cabin's layout, pitch and width, and a to-scale seat map coloured by comfort score.
  • Tap any seat for its score, its perks and its watch-outs, from an exit-row stretch to a galley next door, and jump straight to the live seat map to see whether it is still free.
  • Each guide calls out the best seats and the ones to avoid, cabin by cabin, so you know what to ask for before check-in.
Improved

The Chrome extension works on the booking page, and the panel now shows best seats, aircraft and airline details

  • The extension now works on Google Flights in more countries, including google.co.uk, google.de, google.co.in and google.com.au, not only google.com.
  • On Google Flights the SeatInfo button now appears the moment results load, on every flight, and the booking page gets its own See seats button on each flight, so you never have to expand details or reload the page to find it.
  • The side panel's Details tab now leads with the best seats on your aircraft (tap one to jump to it on the map), the published to-scale layout, the airline's fleet, this flight's cabin specs, a fit check for your height and shoulders, and seat insights.
  • Pro members get Seats together, which finds open seats side by side for two to four travelers without splitting you across an aisle, and every traveler gets a Seats to avoid list (limited recline, no window, next to a lavatory or galley) for their cabin.
  • If Google lists a different aircraft from the one the airline is actually flying, the panel tells you, and on an overnight flight it leads with where to sit to sleep.
  • Everything stays in the panel: seat maps, the fleet and your recent searches open right there, with no detours to the website.
  • Spot something wrong on a seat map? Report it from the panel, the live seat map or any seat map page. The flight, aircraft and seat you were looking at come with the report, so we can fix it without a back-and-forth.
Improved

Deck tabs for double-deckers, and a seat key that says what the colours mean

  • Flying an A380 or a 747? The live seat map now shows one deck at a time with Main Deck and Upper Deck tabs on the map, and at the bottom of the full-screen view, instead of stacking both decks down the page.
  • Seat colours now mean one thing. With live availability on, an open seat is coloured by its comfort score on a five-step scale, Excellent to Poor, and every occupied seat is grey. The key lists exactly those six colours.
  • Browsing all cabins without live availability shows the aircraft in neutral grey, with the key saying so, so a coloured seat is never mistaken for a bookable one. Hover or tap any seat and its score, tier and features are still right there.
Improved

A tools page you can browse by picture, and share

  • Every seat tool now has its own cover on the tools page, so the legroom, seat width or red-eye tool is one glance away instead of a line in a list. The Chrome extension and the two comparison tools sit in the same gallery.
  • Each tool page has a Share button that sends the tool to whoever is flying with you, and a shared link previews with that tool's own card rather than the generic SeatInfo one.
  • The share sheet was rebuilt everywhere it appears: the link sits in a field you copy with one tap, and WhatsApp, Telegram, X, Facebook and email are tiles you can pick at a glance.
Improved

Live seat availability is one switch

  • The search box used to end in a row of cabin pills, most of them locked. It now closes with a single Live seat availability switch: off shows every cabin's layout for free, on checks the airline for the seats actually open in the cabin you pick.
  • Pro members who switch it back on land in the cabin they last picked, so flipping it off and on never moves you from business to economy.
  • The links from a live map into the aircraft's full seat guide now say where they lead before you click.
Improved

A new sign-in page, and windows to match

  • Signing in now happens on one full-screen scene, with the theme switch, the airlines you can search and a rating row beside the card. The Google button and the code boxes share one shape with everything else on the page.
  • The sign-in and upgrade windows use that same scene, so wherever you sign in or upgrade from, it reads as one product. The upgrade window now shows the monthly price struck through beside the yearly one, so the saving is plain.
Improved

Search first, sign in after

  • Looking up a flight used to open a sign-in box before you saw anything. Now the search runs, your flight and route are named on screen, and the cabin sits behind the sign-in card so you can see what you are getting.
  • Sign in and your seat map opens straight away, on the flight you already searched. Nothing to type twice.
New

Recent searches, one tap to run again

  • Your last six flight lookups now sit under the search box on the home page and the live seat map.
  • Pro re-runs any of them in one tap; everyone can see what they searched.
Improved

Every cabin layout now has a link you can share

  • Airlines fly the same aircraft in several cabin layouts. Picking one used to change the page but not the address, so sending it to someone dropped them on a different cabin.
  • Each layout now has its own address. Share it, bookmark it, or open it in a new tab and you land on the cabin you were looking at.
  • Switching between layouts still keeps your place on the page, and the back button returns you to the one you came from.
New

Three guides for travelers who lost SeatGuru

  • SeatGuru closed in October 2025. Three new guides explain what happened, what an airline seat map still leaves out, and how to check a cabin before you pay for a seat.
  • Each one reads like our blog, with a contents rail, seat tools linked where they help, and answers to the questions travelers ask most.
New

Email preferences, a switch to yearly, and more on your account page

  • Choose on your account page whether SeatInfo emails you seat map updates and product news. Sign-in codes and billing emails are not affected.
  • On a monthly plan, switch to yearly from your account page and see the exact prorated charge before you confirm.
  • The account page now shows who is signed in, flags a failed payment the moment it happens, marks each receipt as paid or not, and offers a way back in after a plan has ended.
Fixed

Signing in with an emailed code no longer freezes the page

  • After you asked for a sign-in code the page could lock up before the code boxes appeared. It now moves straight on to the code step, and the confirmation message no longer flickers.
Improved

A clearer way to compare two cabins

  • The compare builder moved into the top of the page, with three ready-made pairs to start from if you are just looking.
  • Each side is a slot you fill in, and the specs line up row by row so seat width, pitch and layout are easy to read across.
  • A compare link now names the exact cabin layout on each side, so two layouts of the same aircraft no longer resolve to the same map.
New

Your plan, your receipts, and your recent searches

  • A new account page shows the plan you are on, when it renews and what you have been charged, and lets you cancel or restart Pro yourself.
  • The last few flights you looked up now sit under the search box, so comparing two flights no longer means typing the first one twice.
New

A SeatInfo bot for Telegram

  • Send the SeatInfo bot a flight number and it opens a live seat map in the chat, with your existing SeatInfo account and Pro plan.
Improved

Clearer guidance when there is nothing to show yet

  • The live seat map now welcomes you with a flight search prompt, with a search button on mobile. A separate illustration helps explain when a flight's seat map is unavailable.
  • Matching illustrations now accompany empty catalog searches, comparisons, seat selection, the blog, missing pages, and the extension's welcome screen. Search failures keep their retry action.
New

See how a seat map was checked, and tell us when one looks wrong

  • A new How we verify page lays out where our seat data comes from, what the Cross referenced and Single source labels on each map actually mean, and who reviewed it.
  • There is now a contact page too, so a seat map that looks wrong reaches a person without you digging for an email address.
New

The SeatInfo extension is live on the Chrome Web Store

  • Install it in one click from the Chrome Web Store, no more waiting list. The See seats button then appears on Google Flights and opens the live, to-scale cabin for that exact flight in a side panel.
New

One place to find the best seats on any plane

  • Every best-seats guide now lives on a single page. Browse by airline or by aircraft type, search the A to Z list, and land on the guide for the exact plane you are flying.
  • Airlines with one mapped aircraft take you straight to that guide, so the common case is one click instead of two.
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

  • Blogs 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 Chrome 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 Chrome 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

  • 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

The SeatInfo live seat map is here

  • 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.
  • Sign in fast with Google or one-tap sign in.
