Find the best plane seats before you fly

SeatGuru shut down in October 2025. What actually changed for travellers, and what to check on any replacement site before trusting it — including this one.

Why the same flight number, on the same aircraft type, can put you in a completely different cabin depending on the day — and how to check which one you got.

What the colours, icons, labels and shaded bands on a generated seat map actually mean, explained plainly, so you can pick a seat in under a minute.

Every airline we measure, ranked by real economy seat pitch — the tightest row on each one, not a flattering average.

Which aircraft have the most rows that can’t recline at all — measured seat by seat across every configuration we publish, not guessed.
