Great news, all we need now is seat guru to be as reliable as EF

This is a really good enhancement.

It's actually a "Qantas" style "enhancement" for me.

Here's an abridgement of what I posted on FT: (ExpertFlyer.com - Master Information and Updates Thread - Page 7 - FlyerTalk Forums)

...

I don't need trip advisor to tell me which seats are good or bad for most of my flights. If I do need further information as I can look it up on seatguru or seatexpert.

In the case of the first seat map I saw with this new layout the recommendations were even completely incorrect. [NZ726 Dec 3, 2010 (A320)]

What was a simple, easy to read interface is now cluttered with unnecessary busy graphic.

Bring back the blue boxes!!!

If not, at the very least make seat guru images/data optional (like like the pop-ups can be turned off) ... and make this a profile option as well.

It's quite hard when

. i.e. "All are available"

... It would be better to have a profile option as well to make this information available or not without having to check it every time; more than that, if turned off, simply have the

to show an available seat in all cases.

I have seat up a Greasemonkey script to make all seat images the basic versions.

PM me for a link to it if you would like to check it out.

This script should substitute seat guru specific images with the generic one as well as disabling Seat Guru mouseover pop ups.

No warranty is made as to the fitness of the purpose for this script for any use. Usage is entirely at the risk of the user.

Thankyou after my initial enthusiasm I'm now finding it all a bit annoying.
