Expert Flyer now Overlays Seat Maps onto Aerolopa Images

[serfty]

I was checking a seat map this morning and was confronted with a seriously busy output.

After recg from this I realised the seat allocation icons were overlayed onto an Aerolopa image.

For mine, the jury is still out.

Here is the query - it was for economy only but I can get Business at a touch

Interesting. I think I like it.

It's more useful for certain layouts like staggered ones which would otherwise appear as straight grid. I agree it' s a bit busy though. You can unselect "Detailed view" and it'll go back to being a normal grid.

Ah, I just saw the new blue bits yesterday, no overlays and was going to post something. Checking again now, I can see that the overlay is only available to paid members.

Here’s what a “Free” user sees for an upcoming QF 737 flight.

I have just got an email from EF telling me that I now have:

• A new all-in-one detailed seat map experience

I think they should make this an option for paid as well. Let the user decide.

There also seems to be an expanded system wide search function that costs additional to the existing premium.

Don’t you see this button (presumably to turn off)?

EF now uses aerolopa for its seat maps. Great change, no need to cross reference now.

Unless you’re in the cheap EF “seats” ie freebie plan. See post #4.

But yes, a positive “enhancement” even though some don’t like it…

Also a 30% price increase to $13 month for monthly subscriptions

I like the new seat maps and also appreciate the ability to simplify it, if you want to. One aspect I used AeroLopa for often was the alignment of windows to your seat: I like having an easy view out and AL also shows you the placement of the wings (in case I fly somewhere potentially worth taking a few photos of from the plane window).

Also a 30% price increase to $13 month for monthly subscriptions

And for the annual premium plans, from $100 USD to $132 USD. The price is starting to get quite steep unless you use it a lot and continuously get good value from it.
