Seat Maps

The seatmaps resource describes the layout of an aircraft’s cabin. It provides characteristics of each seat and gives the location of other cabin items such as lavatories, gallies, stairs and exits.

You must specify the cabin class in the request. If more than one cabin class is required, multiple requests must be issued. Not all cabin classes are available on all flights; generally there will be "C" (Business) and "M" (Economy). Some flights also have "F" (First) and "E" (Premium Economy). The response contains an element <SeatDisplay><CabinType><Code> which describes exactly which seat map has been returned. In addition, seat row numbers will not necessarily be returned consequtively (e.g. sometimes, rows 13 and/or 17 are missing, ...).

There is no method in the current version of the API to find which cabin classes are available on a given flight.
