It’s still quite the workhorse for Delta Air Lines today, and appearing below in this installment of Vintage Airline Seat Maps is the original seating layout for the airline’s “Super 80†MD-88s first delivered in 1987. Besides the amount of cabin real estate the rear galley occupied, there’s not too much to note about this…

It’s time for another Vintage Airline Seat Map and I’ve selected a United Airlines Boeing 747-200 seen flying the skies in the mid to late 1990s. This configuration, classified as “YR,†seated 369 passengers in the typical three- class international layout and featured a spiral staircase to the upper deck. Having two lavatories upstairs is…

It’s time again for a little regional airline love in this installment of Vintage Airline Seat Maps. Appearing below is an American Airlines (Eagle) Shorts 360 seen flying the skies in the early 1990s. Even before then, I recall them as a frequent sight at Chicago O’Hare when I sat along the runways airplane spotting.…

Earlier this year I posted the seat map for USAir’s 737-200 seen flying the skies in 1987, and now bring you the airline’s Boeing 737-300 for this installment of Vintage Airline Seat Maps.

Vintage Airline Seat Map: Air France 3-Class Airbus A300
It’s time for another Vintage Airline Seat Map and I’ve selected a three-class Air France Airbus A300 seen flying the skies in the late 1980s. A couple of interesting things to note below are the white seats behind row four, and those in the middle section of row 40. I’m assuming they were crew rest…

I previously posted United’s 767-200 MT seat map, and now bring you the other -200 version in United’s fleet seen flying the skies in 1998 for this installment of Vintage Airline Seat Maps.

Unlike all other Eagle aircraft flying at the time with row numbering beginning at “1,†American Airlines began…
Vintage Airline Seat Map: Delta Air Lines DC-9-30
A couple of weeks ago, a fellow blogger over at Points, Miles and Martinis playfully taunted me suggesting that my Vintage Airline Seat Maps aren’t all that “vintage.†I can’t disagree since many of the aircraft I post are still flying today. But it’s still fun to look back and see how seating arrangements have…
Vintage Airline Seat Map: Air France Aérospatiale-BAC Concorde
In last week’s installment of Vintage Airline Seat Maps, I was playfully taunted by a fellow BoardingArea blogger about how un-vintage some of my maps are, given many of the aircraft are still flying today. The Weekly Flyer then posted his seat selection and map for a DC-9-50 Delta flight that he was scheduled to…
