Seat Map Availability - Real Time Changes
Wow.... After finding out what the best seats were on seatguru.com I called Northwest Airlines and moved my seat while I viewed available seats on the website -
http://www.cs.haifa.ac.il/~shuly/flight.html
After hanging up the phone with Northwest Airlines I clicked the refresh button on the website and it immediately showed I took the new seat. Both this site and seatguru.com are fantastic. Thank you for your incredible work.

I've been wanting to see real time seat availability before buying. This is exactly what I was looking for. However, it does not yet work for CO. Maybe I'll try later.

I wonder why you're having a problem since I'm able to check CO seat availability at
http://www.cs.haifa.ac.il/~shuly/flight.html
You can also check seat map availabllity directly at the CO website when proceeding as if you were going to purchase the tickets online.

When I first tried this website last week, it worked fine. But this week, every time I've tried it for a UA flight, I get the message: "The seat map option is not available at this moment. Please contact your travel provider for information regarding your seats."
Meanwhile, I was able to get seat maps at ITN, though it's much more cumbersome. (You have to pretend you're making a reservation.)

It's working today, which is great. In CO site, I think I have to enter my credit card info before I can see the map. It's better with this site. (At least for a general idea...)
