It appears you focused on the bigger oneworld airlines and others so now that you are adding AF-KL will you plan to add some SkyTeam airlines (but not just DL, KE and VN are some personal favourites :-))?
Thanks,

The project really started with the most modest of ambitions which was to add detail to the seat maps provided by IAG airlines and it's most prominent North American partners such as AA and AS. But I thought I could add value by ramping up the portfolio to include United and Air France, primarily in response to the number of nuances presented by the new Optima/Polaris seats where 50% of the window seats (A and L) have unimpeded views but it is more of a lottery with regard to the C and J seats. This is where mapping the seat positions relative to the fuselage windows can be really useful.

While I would love to add more SkyTeam (and *A) airlines, I also need to be realistic about the limitations of what I can manage going forward. SeatGuru was once a fabulous resource but has since failed simply because it has not attended to changes so I am being super careful not to bite more than I can chew. I think 300 seat maps is a manageable number and we are currently at 210. I pledged to add Hop! and KLM and will fulfil this commitment but I think that might be about it.
