Displaying Seat Maps
To view seat maps, you can either:
- Preview seat maps before booking.
- Display seat maps for a booked segment using one of the following methods.
Tip! As of Smartpoint 9.0, you can display seat maps for Network carriers from a retrieved PNR/Booking File without end transacting.
Request
Depending on the carrier and itinerary, graphical seat maps may be available. Seat maps can also be requested using terminal formats.
Note: Smartpoint does not currently support ancillary services for group bookings through the Shopping Cart. Use terminal formats to request ancillary services, including paid seats, for groups. See Ancillary Services (DAS) in the Travelport+ Format Guide. Travelport+ (1G) and Apollo (1V) use the same formats for ancillary services.
