Seat Load Factor in F LHR-JFK
I will have my first BA flight in F on the route very soon.
Given the very high frequency of service I was wondering how high of a load in F one can usually expect?
Any general experience? In my case: It will be a Saturday morning

If you post your flight number and date people here will tell you how the loads are looking on your flight and probably the other flights that day.

I do this route several times a year, I've often been in full cabins and rarely less than 8 passengers. It all depends on which flight and what day/time of the year.

Whilst not even slightly relevant, the load factor on the Lufthansa First Class I took to New York last week was 1 person - me! That was interesting ....
BA loads tend to be fairly high because of the semi permanent 'buy a fully flexible J ticket and get a free one way upgrade to F' promo.

Seat Load Factor in F LHR-JFK
Im gonna hijack the thread (as it's close to JFK)
Can anyone let me know the loads on 1st Aug LHR-EWR BA185. Rev management won't open up an F class reward for me and won't let me upgrade with cash either. Thankssssss

I flew LHR-JFK in F recently on a Monday lunchtime flight. There were only 3 more in the cabin (so 5 total including us). This seemed to have the disadvantage that the crew were very lazy as the other 3 pax slept the whole way. We were never topped up or actively offered anything without leaving the seat and going to the galley and/or pressing the call bell.
