Seatmaps

When NOT to Use

• Booking seats. Find information only. Do not select or purchase seats.
• Real-time availability. Seat maps show the aircraft layout, not which seats are currently open.

Two Sources, Different Strengths

Default workflow: Search SeatMaps first (data extraction). Link to AeroLOPA for visual window alignment detail when the user wants geeky precision.

Search by Flight Number (Primary Workflow)

Use agent-browser to search SeatMaps by flight number. This identifies the aircraft type and loads the correct seat map automatically.

Step 1: Navigate and switch to flight number search

agent-browser open "https://seatmaps.com/"
agent-browser wait --load networkidle

# Switch to flight number search mode
agent-browser snapshot -i
# Find and click "Search by flight#" toggle
agent-browser click @eN  # ref for "Search by flight#" generic element

Step 2: Fill search form

# Type airline name in AIRLINE field
agent-browser fill @eAIRLINE "Air France"
agent-browser wait 2000

# Click the autocomplete suggestion (e.g., "(AF) Air France")
agent-browser snapshot -i
agent-browser click @eSUGGESTION  # ref for the correct airline suggestion

# Enter flight number (digits only, no airline code)
agent-browser fill @eFLIGHT "83"

# Optional: change date if needed
# agent-browser fill @eDATE "15-Aug-26"

# Click FIND
agent-browser click @eFIND
agent-browser wait 5000

Step 3: Extract cabin data AND screenshots

After navigation, get both the structured data and visual seat map:

# Get structured data (cabin specs, ratings, reviews)
agent-browser snapshot -c

# Take full-page screenshot (captures everything: cabin photos, specs, reviews)
agent-browser screenshot --full seatmap-full.png

# Scroll to the interactive seat map and take viewport screenshots
# The seat map is an iframe that renders visually in screenshots
agent-browser scroll up 5000
agent-browser scroll down 400
agent-browser wait 1000
agent-browser screenshot seatmap-map-top.png      # First/Business section

agent-browser scroll down 600
agent-browser screenshot seatmap-map-middle.png    # Premium Economy section

agent-browser scroll down 600
agent-browser screenshot seatmap-map-bottom.png    # Economy section

Screenshots capture the color-coded interactive seat map. Each seat is color-coded:

• Dark blue = Standard seat
• Green = More comfort (extra legroom, quiet area, good window alignment)
• Olive/yellow-green = Some issues (limited recline, misaligned window)
• Yellow = Mixed features (extra legroom BUT near lavatory)
• Red = Reduced comfort (no recline, galley noise, narrow)

Read the screenshots to identify specific good/bad seats by row and letter, then recommend the best options.

The results page also contains:

• Aircraft type in the page heading (e.g., "Air France Boeing 777-300ER")
• Variant tabs (e.g., V.1 through V.5) showing different configurations
• Per-cabin data in a DescriptionList:
  • Seats count
  • Pitch (inches)
  • Width (inches)
  • Recline (degrees)
• Aircraft overview text with seat configuration summary
• Seat map rating (e.g., "4.49 out of 5, based on 389 reviews")
• Flight reviews with links to external reviews (OMAAT, Sam Chui, etc.)
• Codeshare airlines list

Step 4: Check other variants (if multiple)

Click variant tabs to compare configurations:

agent-browser click @eVARIANT  # ref for "777-300ER V.2" tab
agent-browser wait 2000
agent-browser snapshot -c
