The only minor hiccup I've run into so far is the LAX issue. Once you search for just LAX and reach the flight search page, the edit area defaults back to all LAX area airports.

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!
Av geeks like me care....

I can see your point, and I don't need the info, but think of the positives. UA.com is now the only website where you don't need a separate window to view the seat map (and it's the whole plane at once). That saves time, clicks, and mouse movements. You can even easily see and compare two or more seat maps. And most planes are three clicks or less to see the whole thing anyway. It's not that much different from having to scroll down a couple times to see the whole plane like the other guys.

Maybe UA will make the easy adjustment and eliminate the info. But even if it doesn't, I find their seat map far superior to the competition.
