SeatGuru, a guide to air travel, announced its first mobile app for the iPhone.
According to a release, the free app features SeatGuru's collection of color-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 the TripAdvisor flight search engine, allowing travelers 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 travelers 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, as described by the Company:
-Color-Coded Seat Maps Backed by more than 45,000 flier reviews, SeatGuru offers more than 700 color-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 hoverover comments summarized from fellow travelers.
-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 travelers 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 travelers if their flight is delayed or canceled. Travelers can also have notifications sent to family and friends, so they can be kept updated on flight arrival times and other relevant travel information.
