Hi there!
Really like your site but is there a seat map key? I noticed on the Airlink Embraer 195 map that one of every two seats have a red marking but not consistently different, e.g., 5B red, 6B red while 6A purple, 7A no colour while 7B is red. I fly today and I have a purple seat.😱

We are aware of a few intermittent problems our hosting service provider is currently reporting. These problems are effecting access to the site from certain but not all geographic locations.

Little update for your (PR) Philippine Airlines data... 2 ex-Garuda 777s added...you can likely just copy 'em over 
Here's the gist of the move...

Does anyone know what the scattered economy seats in red mean in the CI B777 diagram? Any significance to them? https://www.aerolopa.com/ci-77w

Google Translate: "Hello. I am writing from Turkey. When I enter the site, it shows the window next to 8F for Ajet Airbus A320neo. However, when I search from other places (chat gpt), it shows that the window is next to 7F. Aerolopa was last updated in January 2024. I will choose a seat by trusting it. Is it really true?"

Oman Air 789 2 class
I noticed that Expertflyer, Oman Air and Japan Airlines show the Business cabin on the 789 (e.g. MXP, AMS, MNL routes) show business in a 2-2-2 config which is correct, but the cabin is split into two sections after a different row.
Aerolopa shows it with four rows in the front and one row in a separate cabin. That appears to be the old setup. The websites show the cabin with three rows in the front followed by a two row cabin.

This one has been baffling us. We discovered it about a month ago. When we ran dummy bookings on Oman Air's website the seat map indicated two business class cabins spanning rows 10-12 and 14-16 just as you are finding, so we duly flagged it as a new configuration. However, and this is where head scratching begins, the economy seat map for the same flight shows rows 20-33 and 34 to 49. In other words it is an exact match of the existing two class 789. All reports we have received about this business class seat arrangement have been pre-flight queries. We have yet to receive any bum in seat feedback corroborating any new config. It might be a GDS glitch
In Version 1, First class has 8 seats in rows 1 and 2, and Business class consists of 24 seats in two cabins, rows 10 and 11 in the front cabin, and rows 12 and 14 in the back cabin.

Version 2 has 30 Business Class seats in two cabins, rows 10, 11, 12 and 14 in the front cabin and row 15 in the back cabin.

For members' benefit, a few months ago we formally recognised the AeroLOPA team and awarded a green handle for company representation. This is fully-deserved given the growth of the website, the interest here and the commitment that's been shown in responding to member queries.

You may well therefore see responses from the team rather than Prospero going forward.

I just got off A4O-SE and the on-board cabin indeed matches what Oman has on their website and post #41 here. Row 15 it in it's on tiny cabin. The lavatory in front of it is a single lav that opens to the K side resulting in 15A being a very quiet seat without noise/light pollution. Before departure I snapped a few screenshots of the WY and JL website that both showed the cabin as having two cabins of three and two rows respectively. That's wrong. It's four and one.
I noticed registrations being listed on the storage containers in the galley and chatted with the crew. All two class 789s have this 4-1 row configuration. The only exception are the two Business Studio planes (-SF and -SG). I can provide more photos/proof if that helps.

Hoping with the demise of seatguru that Aerolopa adds some of the features they had like notes about seats with limited recline, no/misaligned window, bulkhead limited legroom etc. It is difficult to tell from just looking at the seatmap drawing/picture what seats may have limited recline or restricted room and even some window alignment.
Its almost like they need a smaller or simplified picture/display as the graphics are very large and require a lot of scrolling on a laptop or phone to look at the seating.

We've spent a considerable amount of time moving from a portfolio of static images to a database that contain a combination or images and meta data. This will provide us with the foundation to add some exciting new features. With the launch of the new site you'll be able to create an account, add favourites, receive email updates and look at detailed cabin meta data. Post launch we will be adding crowd sourced reviews, discussions forums and the ability to upload notes and images. We will also be augmenting the database to include individual seat meta data.
In parallel we will be launching a set of APIs that will enable our commercial partners to consume our information inside their own apps and websites. The new database contains seat coordinates so that our partners may colour code seats as they wish to show which ones are occupied, blocked, available etc.
We welcome all suggestions and feedback and we will report back here when the new site is available.
Exciting times ahead.
Best wishes,
The AeroLOPA team
