Loads On UA 920 -- Saturday 5/11?

I'm flying out on UA 920 tomorrow (IAH-LHR). Can anyone here tell me what the loads look like in Y?

Thanks!

Thanks for the quick reply. Wow. Kinda surprised given it's a Saturday.. So much for snagging a middle row and taking a snooze

Flights to London in the summer are busy. The other two IAH-LHR flights on Saturday have 1 and 2 Y seat left respectively.

The reservation fare bucket availability can be found by using "Expert Mode" of United's website. From that, one can make a reasonable guess as to the passenger load.

The actual passenger load is proprietary information that is not normally shared with the public.

Thanks FlyinHawaiin.

I realize this is not known to the public. my goal was to have someone who works for UA check the computers to see. Looks like my flight is completely full with only a few seats left on the later 2 flights.

Have a great day!

You can easily check the flight availability by either using expert mode or flight status. If you look at the flight status of 920 for 5/11 you'll see that each cabin is full.

UA will never publicly disclose loads of any flights - but you can make some assumptions based on what you see online.

How do I use "Expert Mode"? Is it an app? a website?

Thanks for your help.

It is a setting under Flight Search Preferences in your user profile on United.com. If you set it, when you do a flight reservation search you can click on the "Fare Class" and it will show the number of seats available (up to 9) in each fare class.

However in your particular case the flight would not have even shown up because it is full in all cabins, which itself would have answered your question since they aren't selling any more seats.

OP - PLEASE do not use "Expert Mode" until you read what it can and cannot do, and what it means when fare classes are open, but fares in those classes are not available.
