I tried a dummy booking and there was a choice for seat selection based on seatmap, but I got to the credit card entry point and did not get the seat selection.
My company's travel agent site will give me the map, but I am blocked from accessing flights less than six hours out. Standby is at four hours, so another way to access the map would be ideal.
I've never been able to see the seat map until I've paid for (thereby booking) the ticket. The seat selector doesn't come until you've booked the ticket. If you want to see how many available seats there are, however, then you can use a website like
www.seatcounter.com to see how many available seats are available on a given flight. It doesn't show you a seat map, but it does tell you how many available seats are on the flight.
Also, F9's call center is a painless choice as well. Give them a call and see what's left for the flight you want.
Lastly, (if it is an option for you) why not change your ticket? If you have status with F9 it won't cost you anything to rebook the ticket to later that day. The call center has done this for me plenty of times before the 4 hour window starts because of having status (and 100k on F9 this year).
