Seat Types

Overview

The Seat Types page defines the different seat categories used across all aircraft or transport layouts. Each seat type can have specific characteristics, icons, and passenger restrictions (e.g., “Extra Legroom,” “Exit Row,” “Standard,” or “No Infant Seat”).

These seat types are later used in the Assign Seats page to visually distinguish seat categories and apply restrictions or pricing logic in the booking process.

Purpose

The purpose of seat types is to:

• Standardize the definitions for various seat categories across the system.

• Control passenger eligibility (e.g., prevent infants from being assigned exit-row seats).

• Provide clear visual distinction between seat types for internal users and guests.

• Support price differentiation for premium or restricted seating options.
