The main reason we use this tool:
Airlines have multiple different aircraft types, and usually most of those aircraft have different seat configurations.
If you’re unsure of the aircraft types, you can always find this when booking and may be marked as:
- 777-300er
- a320neo
- 737-max
- 787-9
- a350-1000
the list goes on - this is just to inform that if you see numbers like the above, that’s the aircraft.
ℹ️ Here’s how to find the best possible Business Class Seats
There are a few alternatives out there, but we love Aerolopa because its very clear and free! This tool is the best way to see exactly what type of seat you’ll get.
It also makes it easy to see the proximity to aisle, window, neighbour, galley etc - based on the aircraft type.
✍️ Note: Wide Body aircraft are the best.
In almost all scenarios, the wide body aircraft have better Business Class configurations - better seats and more space.
→ Aerolopa shows the wide body and narrow body aircraft separately so this is easy to identify.
- When you find a flight, before you book check the aircraft details
- is it a 777, a350, a330, 787, etc?
- Go to aerolopa and select the airline you’re flying on the left
- find the specific aircraft type
- if there are multiple configurations of the same aircraft, consider going to the seat selection process
- here it becomes easier to spot which exact configuration it is by comparing seat rows on aerolopa
- once you have identified the configuration - figure out which seat you prefer based on whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, or want the best seat for windows? Or if you want to see where the toilets, baby bassinets, or galley’s are to avoid noise on the flight.
We find Aerolopa’s seatmaps to be very accurate.
