About ScanSeats
ScanSeats is a free route explorer for flights to and from the United States, airline by airline, and how full they run. It is built for flexible travelers and for airline staff flying standby. Its Wayfinder route explorer puts gateways, destinations, and onward connections on one map.
ScanSeats is built and operated by Mentis Vision LLC, a software company in Hawaii. It is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any airline. Airline names and codes are used only to identify the flights shown.
Data sources
Mainline routes and historical loads
U.S. Department of Transportation, Bureau of Transportation Statistics, T-100 segment data for the latest twelve months published. Used for international nonstop routes, domestic connecting flights, monthly departures, and historical load factors for 109 airlines.
Onward connections
Airline schedule listings from AeroDataBox (route statistics) and AirLabs (routes), combined into one world route snapshot. Each onward leg names its source and date. These listings say which airlines fly a route, not how full it runs, so onward legs carry no load history.
Recently flown
AeroDataBox flight departures, counted by airline and route: operating flights only, with cargo, private, and codeshare listings left out. Only the counts are kept.
Maps
The flat map is drawn with MapLibre from OpenFreeMap tiles (OpenMapTiles, map data from OpenStreetMap contributors). Country shapes on the globe come from Natural Earth through the world-atlas project.
What ScanSeats does not do
ScanSeats does not sell tickets, check live seat availability, see standby lists, or confirm your travel eligibility. Historical loads describe past months; flights and schedules change. Always confirm with your airline.
Advertising
ScanSeats is free and may show a small number of clearly labeled ads. Advertisers never affect how routes are ranked or shown. See the Privacy Policy for how ads use cookies.
