Design Task : Seat Selection Feature

Create a seat selection feature for Scoot's website or app that provides users with a visual representation of the aircraft layout and allows them to choose seats based on preferences and additional services. Design the interface to be intuitive, informative, and visually engaging.

Competitive Research

I analyzed the 3 direct competitors - Jetstar, Firefly, Airasia that have offerings that are similar to scoot and focus on the same audience. I evaluated the seat selection pages of various airline websites, focusing on first impressions, user interaction, visual design, and content clarity.

First Impressions - big screen, small screen
Interaction - Features, Accessibility, User Flow, Navigation
Visual - Brand Identity
Content - Tone, Descriptiveness

Understanding the Existing Scoot Seat Selection Process

Analyze the current seat selection process at Scoot to identify key steps, user interactions, and potential areas for improvement. This includes mapping out the flow, reviewing the user interface, assessing pain points, and comparing with industry standards to ensure a seamless and user-friendly experience.
