Seating
Seat List
Overview
The Seat List page is used to define and manage seat layouts for different aircraft types. Each seat layout represents the configuration of seats used for a specific plane model, including the seat distribution per row and layout type.
This setup ensures that correct seat maps can be assigned to flights or transport departures, enabling accurate seat reservations and passenger placement.
Purpose
The Seat List allows system administrators to:
Maintain an overview of all available seat layouts.
Define new seat configurations for different aircraft models or transport types.
Assign or edit seat positions for each layout.
Hide unused or outdated layouts to keep the list organized.
Seat layouts defined here are later used when configuring transport departures.
Preconditions
Before configuring seat layouts:
Ensure the aircraft or transport type exists in the system and has a corresponding capacity setup.
You must have user permissions to access and edit the Seat List module.
If the layout should be used in a specific transport (e.g., a charter flight), make sure the corresponding contract or transport record is already created.
Instructions

Assign Seats
Overview
The Assign Seats page is used to configure the detailed seat map for a specific aircraft or transport layout. Here, you define the exact seat numbering, row structure, and position of each seat within the plane, ensuring that the seat map matches the real-world configuration used by the airline or transport provider.
Once seats are assigned, this layout is used in Transport → Departures to allow passengers to select or be automatically assigned a seat.
Purpose
The purpose of this feature is to:
Create an accurate seat map reflecting the actual layout of the transport vehicle.
Define individual seat numbers and their row/column positions.
Mark specific seats as unavailable or extra-charge (e.g., exit row or premium seats).
Support the booking system by displaying correct seat availability for each departure.
Preconditions
Before assigning seats:
A seat layout must already exist in the Seat List (with Column Distribution and Layout Type defined).
The aircraft or transport type must have a known capacity and configuration.
You must have the required permissions to edit layouts.
The layout should not be assigned to an active departure in operation (to avoid conflicts).
Instructions
Open the Assign Seats view From the Seat List, click Assign Seats next to the layout you want to configure.
Seat Map Area A grid will appear, divided into rows and columns based on the Column Distribution (e.g., 3x3). Each cell represents a potential seat position.
Add or Remove Seats
To add a seat, click an empty cell and assign a seat number (e.g., 1A, 1B, 1C).
To remove a seat, click on it and select Delete.
Set Seat Properties Each seat include:
Seat Name – Unique identifier for the seat (e.g., 12F).
Row Number – Indicate the row.

Seat Number – Defines the seat numer in a row.
