Thanks!
p.s. I'm aware of the message , but that is not the case in my experience, as Swiss do allow pre-assigned seating on many flights (for a fee), including the ones that I regularly look at.
That's the message being returned to us from Swiss, so there is nothing for us to fix. When you see that it means they are not allowing travel agents to assign seats, at least in Y, for those flights. As such they don't return a seat map when requested.
As our note states this is only for some flights. We just checked LX 15 for Oct 15th and see the Economy seat map on that flight, as an example.

Apples and oranges. ITA has their own schedule, availability, and fare data and is the pricing engine for many airline and travel websites. EF uses the GDS APIs for data and is limited by their capabilities.
