I just used their contact page to send them an article from The Points Guy about new seating on the 767-400. Here's the reply from Trip Advisor support:
Thank you for your interest in SeatGuru. Currently we are not making additional updates to our content on the site and are unable to provide other support. -SeatGuru
As of September 2021 attempting to contact the site via "Contact Me" to update seat maps results in the reply "Thank you for your interest in SeatGuru. Currently we are not making additional updates to our content on the site and are unable to provide other support. -SeatGuru"
I'm not sure what's going on, maybe it's only their contact page.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Sigmund,

Interesting. I've used them a number of times and found their info to be up to date and accurate but perhaps they're going away. Hope not as they don't seem to have any competition whatsoever.
There was an app called GateGuru that was absolutely the best airline traveler itinerary app I'd ever used and it went away around 4 years ago. Don't know if the two were connected or not.

Aww man. I hope seatguru is still around. It was valuable in picking flights and seats.

Back in 2007 SeatGuru was aquired by Trip Advisor, which is owned by Expedia. I know back then, there was some grumbling that things would change They survived the economic downturn in 2008-9, yet, in 2011 they were spinoff with Trip Advisor and it seems they've not applied many resources to the site.
I read up on aeroLOPA and they seem to have picked-up where SeatGuru left-off. Both sites I wished had listing of which seat had the modem for each row restricting their under-seat area.

I flew around Thanksgiving and found there their seating maps were not correct. Can not remember what plane it was but one way was a very new version and flight back was an older version both were incorrect.
First time I've had that problem and I use SeatGuru several times a year. It will suck if they are not updating it anymore.

That link has good diagrams, but I wish it included the info notes like SeatGuru has/had.

I found another site that's similar to aeroLOPA, but neither one matches SeatGuru.
aeroLOPA: Best Website For Airplane Seat Maps Ben Schlappig Published: 10 hours ago
I’m going to be writing a series of posts about some of the tools and services I most use for managing my travel and points. While I often mention these websites and services in passing, I’ve never written dedicated posts about them, so that’s what I’m trying to do now.
In this post I wanted to talk about aeroLOPA, which I consider to be the best website for reviewing airline seat maps and picking the best seats.

The sad decline of SeatGuru
If you’ve traveled by plane with any frequency, you probably know that not all airplane seats are created equal, even within the same cabin. Everyone has different preferences, and when it comes to airplane seating arrangements, knowledge is power...
