Seat map malfunctioning on website

For two days, I've been researching flights. When I check the seat maps on DL's site, I get the "unavailable" language in red print. This happens no matter what dates or routing I am checking.

Have any of you encountered this glitch recently? If so, is there a solution?

Are they DL flights or codeshare?

Data point: Just checked DL 4137/4085, seat maps work fine (albeit either no available seats, or only 4 available, preferred, seats).

Thanks for checking.

I just checked a few DTW/YUL flights. Still getting this:


"The seat map for this flight is currently not available."

Just had no trouble with a series of domestic flights.

PS I've been on so many 75E's lately that when I read the title, I thought of a map of broken seats

Now, that would be some valuable information!

I just booked 4 flights without any problems as well.

Which browser and version?

I noticed it was slower than normal one day this week, but it worked.

Recently I took a flight that was posted as delayed by about an hour and I noticed that the app refused to show the upgrade list or seat maps after the *original* scheduled departure time. However, it did at time show the actual upgrade list for my previous flight, about half of the time, despite the fact that that one had already landed; it was showing as the upgrade list for the delayed flight, but my ticket wasn't an obvious connection so I could have been the only passenger taking both flights.

For flights next week, the app on my iPhone and the app on my iPad are showing me in different seats. This I find scary. I'm also having trouble checking on the website to see if we can have a winner by majority rule. It could be interesting when I try to check in.
