Hi.

After a bit of help please.
18 months ago when flying to the US I was using a site to show me the seat availability of all airlines both LHR to various citiues and then the internal flights.
For the life of me I cannot find it this time. It is not seat guru, it is a site that shows you both booked and unbooked seats on a seat map.
Thanks all in advance.

it is a site that shows you both booked and unbooked seats on a seat mapI'd be happy to stand corrected, but it's very hard to believe that a site exists that would provide this data to the general public.

Where would they get their information from?

Well, these people allow you to look at a seat map when they show available flights after you have entered flight details. Whether it works or not, I don't know.

Thanks, I have no idea how they get it or who provides it but I was using it to compare various airlines.
Looked at BA, AA, US Air etc from LHR to MIA, LHR to JFK and then JFK to MIA.

Used it to plot my flights for the trip ensuring that I got full choice of seats that I wanted. Worked a dream, 4 of us flying and managed to get 4 seats together in Club/First for all stages. Was on Airmiles with First Class tickets in the USA and was able to check which flights to aim for when booking.

If you look carefully, you'll see that is a free site as well. It also offers a premium service

Thanks all.

Expertflyer seems to be alerts rather than actually viewing the seatmap showing available seats.

Likewise seat guru is good at showing maps but doesnt show the booked seats that I can see.

Hey ho, I shall continute to trawl!!!


Yessss, found it.
the one I used before was Expedia. Thought I was going mad.
