I'm pretty sure from the OP's post that s/he's trying to find a way to predict which planes are likely to have lighter loads in back so s/he can have some chance of being able to lie across 3 or 4 seats to sleep.

Often on very early departing am flights, the wee hours, fewer travelers and more empty seats, maybe 3/4 across near the rear of the plane suitable to sleep upon. I will be traveling from USA to Hong Kong post knee surgery and I'm a tall guy. Are such records as 'number of passengers on flight' public info or kept private? thnx
