SeatGuru for Southwest Airlines — the Free Replacement
SeatGuru closed in October 2025. FlightSeatMap is the free replacement, with 3 current Southwest Airlines seat maps and seating charts, and real-time Extra Legroom seats availability.
SeatGuru is gone. The site closed on 31 October 2025 and now redirects to TripAdvisor. Its Southwest Airlines seat maps had not been updated since 2020, so they were already out of date before the site went offline. Southwest switched from open boarding to assigned seating in 2025, so the seat map now matters on every Southwest flight.
Southwest Airlines Fleet Coverage
7S7, Boeing 737 MAX 8, and Boeing 737-800 Winglets — every Southwest Airlines aircraft type we hold a seat map for.
Extra Legroom seats Seat Alerts
Set an alert for an Extra Legroom seats seat on your specific Southwest Airlines flight. FlightSeatMap watches availability and emails you the moment one opens up. SeatGuru never offered this.
Always Current
Southwest Airlines reconfigures aircraft regularly, and a seating chart that is a year old sends you to the wrong row. FlightSeatMap updates Southwest Airlines seat maps daily. SeatGuru's data was frozen from 2020.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Does SeatGuru still have Southwest Airlines seat maps?
- No. SeatGuru closed on 31 October 2025 and now redirects to TripAdvisor. Its Southwest Airlines seat maps had not been updated since 2020, so they were already wrong before the site went offline. FlightSeatMap publishes current Southwest Airlines seat maps and updates them daily.
- Where can I find a Southwest Airlines seating chart for free?
- FlightSeatMap.com has free Southwest Airlines seating charts covering 7S7, Boeing 737 MAX 8, Boeing 737-800 Winglets. No account is needed to browse them, and every chart shows the full cabin layout so you can compare rows before you pick a seat.
- How do I find the best seat on Southwest Airlines?
- Open the Southwest Airlines seat map for your aircraft type and look for exit rows, which have the most legroom, and for Extra Legroom seats. Avoid the last row, which often does not recline, and seats beside lavatories and galleys. You can also search your Southwest Airlines flight number to see which seats are still free.
- Can I get an alert when a Southwest Airlines seat opens up?
- Yes. Set a seat alert on any Southwest Airlines flight and FlightSeatMap watches the seat map for you, then emails you when a window, aisle, exit row, or Extra Legroom seats seat becomes available. SeatGuru never did this.
