I just need one seat. I just wanted to know the # of seats left so I could get an idea of how much time I have to decide whether to purchase. When Bing Travel or similar sites say "5 seats left" or whatever the number is, where do they get that info and how accurate is it?
By the way, I have the seat on hold but since the departure is only a couple of days from now or so I'm nervous. I want to know that they will honor the hold until the hold expiration time. I also am looking at other flights and I wanted to know how to figure out how many seats are left on the other flights.
