ExpertFlyer partners with SeatGuru

by expertflyer on November 16, 2010 in Uncategorized with Comments Off

Today ExpertFlyer is announcing that we now offer SeatGuru® seat map ratings overlaid on top of our existing Seat Map and Seat Alert features. Now subscribers will have the most comprehensive view of highly sought after seats, as well as general availability, as we are the only non-booking website to offer this comprehensive solution.

Combining SeatGuru’s Seat Ratings with ExpertFlyer’s Seat Maps & Seat Alerts features will allow subscribers to determine which seats are desirable (or should be avoided) while viewing which seats are actually available on their flight. Additionally, with Seat Alerts, ExpertFlyer notifies subscribers the moment a specified seat or seat grouping (Any aisle, window, Emergency Exit, etc.) becomes available. SeatGuru, the most trusted on-line resource for airline seat maps and amenities, currently provides detailed maps for more than 700 airplanes from nearly 100 different airlines.

SeatGuru will be available to all ExpertFlyer subscribers, regardless of subscription plan.

Here is an example of what ExpertFlyer Seat Map results with SeatGuru data looks like (click on the image for full size):
