Websites for Jumpseating
 

Besides passrider, are there any good sites to use to check available seats and flights for jumpseating? Thank you

Airways and united's iOS app shows loads

The normal consumer apps show number of tickets that they can still sell, not the number of seats left on the airplane nor the number of non-revs listed. Since they let each flight be oversold by a percentage, even if there are seats still available for sale, it may already be oversold, with a bunch of non-revs listed.

If you have the passwords, the employee side shows all of this, and it pretty good.

I can't speak for the Airways app, but the United app specifically shows which seats are available and the current checked-in non-rev list. I use it all the time.

I've had the United app show that seats were still available, but it was still oversold. Maybe they have changed it. I hope so. It would be much more useful in that case.

I've been trying to figure out the United app seat map system for years. I think if a confirmed pax hasn't checked in his/her seat will show available. Best way to check if there is at least 1 seat open is the standby tab. Hope that helps.

I think the way it works is if a customer doesn't have a seat assignment it will show open. What United does is leave the Economy Plus seats open until the last minute so that they can sell the seat. If no one buys it then they start assigning those seats to people who didn't pay for it but still need a seat. That's why on a full flight a hr prior the blue seats start disappearing. It's really frustrating. I'd say the app is fairly accurate within 30-45 min of the flight leaving cause by then everyone has checked in and seats are assigned
