Q: What is a JPG file? [ top ]

A: A JPG is a file with the extension "jpg". This kind of document can be created with the majority of image-editing software.

Q: What seat maps may I submit? [ top ]

A: You may submit JPG files of seat maps belonging to airlines that are not present in our website. Seatmaestro will proceed to add that airline and upload the corresponding JPG file into its Database.

You may also submit JPG files of seat maps that have not been included but belong to airlines that are already present in our website.

Q: Where can I find seat maps that I can use as a reference to convert them into JPG files? [ top ]

A: You can usually find them in airline websites. Make sure you look for the "Airplanes" or "Our Fleet" link.

Other good sources of information are Airline timetables that you can easily find at airports. You might have to look very carefully as seat maps are usually in the last pages or hidden somewhere in between.

Q: Where should I submit the JPG files? [ top ]

A: JPG files must be sent to webmaster@seatmeastro.com.

Q: Are there other JPG related issues I should take into consideration? [ top ]

A: JPG should be accompanied by the corresponding scanned copy of the original seat map in order for our team to be able to verify their authenticity and accuracy. In order to be valid, JPG files should respect the quality, look and colours used for Seatmaestro seat maps (a minimum of 300dpi).

Seatmaestro staff will monitor these comments and evaluate their validity.

Participants may add their name or their company name at the bottom of each JPG file sent. Once received, accepted by our team and paid for, JPG files will be property of Seatmaestro.

Q: Are all JPGs of seat maps compensated in the same way? [ top ]

A: No. It depends on what aircraft type you are considering drawing. Some aircraft types require more work than others and therefore they will be compensated with a higher cash sum.

JPG files of small aircraft types such as the ATR, Fokker, CRJ, Dash, Embraer, Tupolev, Avro, Bae, Saab, etc., will be paid $10 each.

JPG files of medium aircraft types such as the Airbus A300, A310, A320, A330, Boeing 717, 737, 757 and the MD-80 family will be paid $15 each.

JPG files of large aircraft types such as the Airbus A340, A350 and A380 and Boeing 747, 767, 777 and 787 will be paid $20 each.

Q: How & When will I get paid? [ top ]

A: You will be paid via Paypal. If you don't have an account, click here to create one. Other participants will not see your Paypal account. Only Seatmaestro staff will have access to this information.

You will receive payment within 5 business days after Seatmaestro staff considers your JPG files to be valid. This should not take longer than 2 weeks after you have submitted your files.

In case Seatmaestro staff consider that seat maps need changes, corrections or additions, you will be informed via email. In this case, payment will be postponed until the seat maps are amended and considered valid.
