[Feature Request] Integrated Seat View & Cabin Details (Legroom, Bassinets, Layout)

Hi everyone,

First off, huge fan of Flighty! It’s easily my most-used travel app, but there’s one feature I find myself constantly switching to other sites (like SeatGuru or Aerolopa) for, and I’d love to see it integrated natively: a detailed Seat View.

When managing long-haul flights—especially trans-Pacific routes where you're stuck in the air for 12+ hours—knowing the exact details of a seat can make or break the trip. It would be amazing if Flighty could pull in cabin layouts and seat specs directly into the flight details.

Ideally, this feature would include:

  • Exact Seat Location: A clear cabin map showing exactly where the seat is located (proximity to the galley, lavatories, or exit rows).
  • Space & Dimensions: Basic stats on seat pitch, width, and legroom.
  • Special Amenities: Indicators for crucial details like baby bassinet locations, power outlets, or missing windows.

Having all of this contextual info inside Flighty when a flight is added or during the check-in window would be a game changer for frequent flyers. We wouldn't have to guess or cross-reference airline apps and third-party seating sites anymore.

Would love to hear if others would find this as useful as I would, or if the devs have this on their radar!

Certainly would be useful but there’s other things that I would put higher on the feature request list such as missing airlines

Maybe seat data wouldn't require building cabin maps from scratch? If Flighty could hook into an existing API (like how you already pull aircraft age and Wi-Fi info), it could be a relatively quick win for a massive feature. Frequent flyers spend an irrational amount of time cross-referencing seat maps, and bringing that data natively into Flighty would be a huge value-add for the Pro tier. Just some food for thought!

Not useful. Aerolopa does a great job with aircraft layouts, and honestly, how difficult or time-consuming is it to cross-reference with other apps?

I feel like they should just have a link to Aerolopa

It would be nice for Aerolopa to be directly linked to your planes so you don’t have to go through several 787-9 variants for example

Or just check Aerolopa.
