Seats Frog guide

About Seats Frog

Seats Frog draws every airline's seat maps in one format and rates every seat with the same rules, so you can pick a seat, or compare two planes, at a glance.

Updated October 2026.

Where the seat maps come from

Only from the airlines themselves. Each layout is built from the airline's own seat map pages, seating charts, PDFs and fleet pages: the cabins, the rows, the seats across, pitch and width, and where the galleys, lavatories and exits sit. Every map links to the airline page it was checked against and says when. When an airline's drawing and its text disagree on a count, we follow the drawing.

Plane and cabin photos are the airline's own too, from its fleet pages and media centre, credited and linked. Where an airline publishes no photo, the space stays empty: we never use blog, spotter or third-party seat map pictures.

How every seat is rated

Every seat gets the same rules on every aircraft, and the note beside it says why:

  • Good (green): only upsides, such as an exit row or bulkhead with extra legroom, extra space beside the seat, or more privacy.
  • Mixed (amber): an upside and a downside, such as exit-row legroom with a seat that doesn't recline.
  • Avoid if you can (red): only downsides, such as no recline, a missing or misaligned window, a narrower seat, or a seat right next to the galley or lavatory.
  • Standard (grey): nothing notable for or against it.

Each layout page opens with its cabins and the best pick in each, then the drawn map (front of the plane at the top, every cabin at one width, galleys, lavatories and closets drawn where they sit), the cabins side by side, and the best and worst seats as lists.

Corrections

Airlines refit cabins and swap aircraft. If a row, a seat count or a rating looks wrong, email founder@loungefrog.com with the airline, the aircraft and what you saw. We check it against the airline's own seat map and correct the page, which then shows the new "updated" date.

How to quote and cite us

Assistants, writers and researchers are welcome to quote a seat's rating or a layout's seat counts with a link to the page they came from, for example: "Seat 43C on the Emirates A380 is best avoided (next to the lavatory), according to Seats Frog(seatsfrog.com)." Please keep the date the page shows. Bulk copying of the data needs a license; ask at founder@loungefrog.com.

The Frog sites

Seats Frog shares its seat maps with Lounge Frog, the airport lounge directory, and sits beside Cruise Frog and Points Frog, all run by the same team on one database.

Quick answers

Who runs Seats Frog?

Seats Frog is a sister site of Lounge Frog, the airport lounge directory, run by the same team. Both show the same seat maps from one database.

Can I use Seats Frog's seat maps on my site?

Yes: every seat map has an Embed box with a snippet that frames the map on your page, with the notes on hover and a link back. Quoting a seat's rating with a link is free; bulk use of the data needs a license from founder@loungefrog.com.
