SeatCounter .com

I've been having difficulty connecting to SeatCounter for the past few days. Is this a wide spread problem or is it only my computer? If someone can suggest a fix, please do.

Per this thread the ITN functionality is no longer available. Seatcounter is one of the tools which used this and therefore no longer works.

KVS and Expertflyer still work (subscription required).

Oh no! That really stinks. It was such a good resource for figuring out which flights had the best chance for UGs.

It sure would be nice if they would put up a message telling people WHY "query failed" instead of leaving us confused.

Maybe I missed it, but are there other free sources for this kind of information? (Yeah, I am a cheapskate...)

Thanks, it show seats in Coach, Business etc, however, it does not show the Fare Classes and seats available like Seat Counter ( even in Advanced Mode ) Thanks for the tip, bit if you knew Seat counter you would not even touch this one. Expert Mode on UA ( if your flying UA ) is much better..

Flying Machine, flightstats.com aint as bad as it seems. there is a hidden trick.

For example, look for the availability you like...

the display is something like this...

First Bus Coach
5 || 9 || 3

To find exact seats available as per booking class, please roll your cursor over this numbers and you will get the detailed availability/class.

hope this helps.
