SeatGuru has announced its first mobile app for the iPhone. The free app features SeatGuru's extensive collection of colour-coded airplane seat maps- over 700 with detailed seat recommendations covering nearly 100 airlines. The app also provides users with helpful travel tools by integrating TripAdvisor flight search engine, allowing travellers to book a flight on the go, and the ability to get real-time flight status updates.
"We're excited to put the power of SeatGuru's flier-backed seat maps and recommendations in the hands of iPhone users," said Jami Counter, senior director of
SeatGuru. "Our free app gives travellers the peace of mind that they've found the best
airplane seat at the lowest price, in an easy-to-navigate display to help make the air
travel experience less stressful."
The SeatGuru iPhone app includes the following useful features:
- Colour-Coded Seat Maps - Backed by more than 45,000 flier reviews,
SeatGuru offers more than 700 colour-coded airplane seat maps across nearly 100
different airlines. Each seat map includes indicators for good seats (green), seats
with some cautionary attributes (yellow), and seats to avoid (red), as well as
detailed hover-over comments summarized from fellow travellers.
- Flight Meta-Search Engine - Powered by TripAdvisor Flights
the app's flight shopping engine searches for the lowest airfares
across online travel agencies, discount airfare consolidators,
major airlines, and low cost carriers, so travellers can find the
right flight at the best price.
- Real-Time Flight Alerts - The app offers real-time flight status updates,
supplied by FlightAware to alert travellers if their flight is delayed or
cancelled. Travellers can also have notifications sent to family and friends,
so they can be kept updated on flight arrival times and other relevant
travel information.
