And while I am asking annoying questions that I could not find the answer to after a quick search. Is there anyway to know how full a flight will be before I arrive at the airport?
TIA
Yep, they'll move if you ask. I do it all the time!
As for knowing how many people are on the plane, the only way I know is to sneak a peak at the computer monitor the gate agent has. When he scans your boarding pass, look at the computer screen. There'll be a set of numbers, and the top left number is the number of boarding passes issued, and I think the next number is the number of "through" passengers. Add that up, and you'll know how many people are on the plane.
