MAN and LHR are definitely around 95%+ for a while now, but these markets definitely fluctuate, when I went up to LHR earlier this month, all the flights to LHR and MAN were operating with load factors of about 50-60%.

Just a look going further west, EK operates YYZ with load factors of 95%+ year round. JFK at the moment about 80% load, probably going to hover around this for a while, and then will be full in peak times of the year. LAX looking at about 60-70% at the moment and also full in peak times. SFO - 95%+ at the moment. IAH hovers at about 90%. DFW is about 70-90% for the next few days, is a new market so it'll take some time.
Interesting numbers and one more prove that San Francisco needs a second daily flight! How are the loads for Seattle and Australia CaptainEKAirbus?
