Getting away from the dreaded middle seat

Wednesday, 22 Jul, 2004 0

Orbitz said it has introduced the industry’s first seat-map feature that lets travelers compare flight options by seat availability when reviewing fares and itineraries.

“For most travelers, where they sit on the plane is essential to a good flight experience. But until now, users had to select a flight or purchase a tickets before they could pick a seat,” said John Samuel, executive vice president, Orbitz.

The new feature displays available first class and economy cabin seats, including premium economy.

To use the tool, users click the “view seats” link displayed on the first results page of a flight search.
