I was curious what the loads/cabin-class bookings looked like for the route.

While by no means are the 3 examples I posted representative of all Dragonair flights from HKT to HKG, I just thought I'd share a couple of random dates.

So, looking at the first flight I listed, KA 213 on June 8:

J9 C9 D0 I0 Y9 B9 H9 K2 M1 L1 V0 S0 N0 Q0 O0

J, C, D, and i are different fares in J - Business Class

Y and B tend to be the full-fare economy tickets

The rest are economy at various price points. Most airlines have a number of different price points for First Class (usually F and A), Business Class J, C, D, I and sometimes a few others like R for example), Premium Economy and then Economy.

When the lowest fare in a class sells out, then the next available fare is higher.

I = 0 means there are no tickets left for the lowest (discounted) Business Class
J = 9, C = 9 means there are still a total of 9 seats in Business Class left for sale.


Note to others: feel free to correct me and/or add info to help OP. Thanks

EDIT: Forgot to mention, the numbers I posted are from Expert Flyer.
