Access accurate, to-scale seat maps for all Singapore Airlines aircraft, and eliminate unwanted surprises like missing or misaligned windows.
Like most of our frequent flyer readers, you’re probably a fan of specific information about the more precise nuances of the cabin layouts that can make or break your flight, rather than the generic “user-friendly” seat maps airlines use these days, so there’s a website you definitely need to bookmark for your reference list.
aeroLOPA breaks the mould with precise, reliable aircraft seat maps across a wide range of airlines and aircraft types. Unlike many sources, aeroLOPA doesn’t rely on guesswork – their data is drawn from highly reliable sources, meaning you can trust what you see when picking your next seat.
What’s a ‘LOPA’?
Airline industry insiders will probably know that LOPA stands for ‘Layout Of Passenger Accommodation’.
It’s what you probably know as the seat map, but is more of a detailed design drawing found in aircraft and cabin blueprint documents used by aircraft manufacturers and airline customers.
These feature an accurate representation of the location of seats, and the spacing between them and other cabin monuments like galleys and toilets. They also include precise window and cabin door locations.

Airlines usually keep these detailed seat maps under wraps, opting instead for simplified layouts when showing customers seating options online.
Singapore Airlines is no exception, with most of its seat maps favouring a simplistic ‘block style’, with very few dimensional or specific layout details.
SIA vs. aeroLOPA
A350 Long Haul
A LOPA, on the other hand, shows to-scale versions of each cabin layout down to the individual seat, aisle width, legroom and window locations – the equivalent of frequent flyer heaven in comparison!
Fun fact: Qantas is the only airline we know of that still uses a LOPA for its public aircraft seat maps, which is very useful, and even shows the A380’s ‘secret’ staircase that descends from the main deck down to the crew rest compartment ahead of row 66, and the lift used for moving galley containers between the main deck and upper deck!
While SeatGuru provides a similar service, as most of us know its accuracy is somewhat lacking for non-US carriers. That resource even uploaded a completely wrong version of SIA’s Boeing 787-10 Business Class section, despite the official seat map having being published by the airline, before later correcting it.
Make no mistake – aeroLOPA is miles ahead of the likes of SeatGuru!
Singapore Airlines was added in August 2022
Initially in 2021 aeroLOPA was using its sources to create these detailed seat maps for the British Airways and American Airlines fleet.
However, since then the tally has increased to an impressive 180+ carriers overall, with Singapore Airlines added back in August 2022.
As of 26th April 2025, aeroLOPA provides seat plans for all eight Singapore Airlines passenger aircraft types / variants, as shown below.

| Aircraft Type | aeroLOPA Seat Map |
| Airbus A350 Medium Haul |

| Airbus A380 | |
| Boeing 737-8 MAX | |
| Boeing 737-800 NG | |
| Boeing 777-300ER | |
| Boeing 787-10 |
That means for all these aircraft types we have access to an accurate cabin floor plan, including window and toilet locations, and precise galley positioning.

The site even has further details of the seat types, entertainment systems and Wi-Fi technology installed for some aircraft types, like this information for the Boeing 737-8 MAX.
Sadly, aeroLOPA doesn’t have a sneak preview of SIA’s upcoming Boeing 777-9 aircraft seating plan – we’ll probably have to wait up to another two years before we get a glimpse of that one!
Singapore Airlines is rolling out 3D virtual seat maps
There’s arguably only one step up from aeroLOPA’s seat maps – and that’s the latest generation of 3D virtual cabin walkthroughs that some airlines now offer.
Singapore Airlines recently joined the list, as we reported back in March this year, though for now it’s unfortunately limited to the airline’s Boeing 777-300ER fleet.
We’re hoping to see a wider rollout of this useful feature across all of SIA’s aircraft types soon, since it represents a significant improvement from the carrier’s 2D seat maps and potentially even these aeroLOPA versions too.
aeroLOPA is a fantastic resource for accurate seat layouts on over 180 airlines around the world, and it’s great that the entire Singapore Airlines passenger fleet is also the list with all eight of its aircraft variants available in impressive detail-rich layouts.
Most importantly for many AvGeeks, precise window and wing locations ensure the best pick for those all-important external views – helping you travel better!
While the airline has recently begun rolling out its own 3D virtual walkthroughs, currently limited to the Boeing 777-300ER, aeroLOPA remains the go-to resource for trusted, in-depth cabin layout insights across the fleet – a true essential for the frequent traveller.
Even if you’re not flying SIA, this is a must-bookmark tool for flight planning – with Qatar Airways Qsuite, Emirates A380s, or even more rudimentary types like a Philippine Airlines Dash 8 turboprop included!
