Live seat map tool
Hi all, does Delta have a tool like the one AA has at the link below? Basically a real time view of what seats are open on any given flight. I know there is Expert Flyer but I just hit pause on my subscription. Hoping Delta has a similar tool where you can just easily see what seats are open. Apologies if there is another thread about this, didn't find one.

You don't have to make a booking, and I would certainly discourage making bookings for the purposes of viewing seat maps (google "AA and Joel Hayes"). You can see available seats on any flight in the search results. Which is also the same as how it works on AA.com (although on AA, certain seats may not show available if you're not logged in as an elite member).

The linked AA display is a lot more user-friendly for the requested purpose than DL's search interface. Might need to script something like this... for science...

For a very small monthly fee, you can get a subscription to ExpertFlyer ... I find all of the info I need there, inventory for all fare classes, upgrade inventory, open seating, etc.

The Delta App shows empty seats on your flight; whenever you update it, the seat map changes to show new seat assignments.
