Just tried looking at seat map from the search results screen. Does anyone at all care that the 777-200 has a wingspan of 199 feet, 11 inches or inane propulsion data (Two Pratt and Whitney PW4077 engines, rated at 77,000 pounds of thrust each)? Seriously?

This craps takes up a third of the screen width on the seat map section, so only a portion of the cabin can be seen on the map. How many clicks to scroll through the whole cabin....5! Five clicks to see a complete seat map!
This is my #1 issue with the site. I've mostly avoided it, so haven't run into a lot of the functional issues reported here. It's just a really frustrating design, that takes me longer to get the same information or do the same things.

I want to know the plane, so I can avoid RJ's. I want to see expert mode. I want easy access to check seats. I don't need to know the plane specs. Provide a link for the 3 people that ever look at that. The whole site is just too many clicks.
