If you've seen this for any other airline please reach out to our support team or reply on this thread. We'll update our error messages across the site for the affected airlines.
In the meantime, we're considering displaying our last available seat map (ie 24 hours before departure). We would clearly label when this is the case.
Is there any way around this? Seat maps are most valuable in the last 24 hours before departure when people want to see upgrade chances, whether anyone will be next to you etc. If this is no longer available then it’s a bit of an issue
