Viewing seat availability?
I'm evaluating several flight options on Westjet, but can't figure out how to view the seat maps to see what seats are unoccupied without having to go through and book a flight. I know this feature was available previously, but can't find it now. Where did it go?

You have to enter a name and contact info etc, which takes you to the next screen which shows available seats. If you don't like what you see you don't have to buy. A dummy name and contact info works.
And yes, it's a PITA.

westjet.com is definitely near the bottom of airline websites. There are just too many things you can't do online.
