I'm a software engineer and have been recently stuck on the problem of trying to predict what flights I might get upgrades on. The easiest way to solve this problem was to start collecting flight load data (available/sold seats per cabin/plane), and I've somehow been rather successful at scraping this data from a major legacy carrier.

Now I have a ton of data that I don't fully know what to do with. I'm hesitant to link this to me because of any possible legal implications of the massive amount of scraping I'm doing; I'm pulling flight data from tens of thousands of flights every hour, including available seats in every cabin with (what seems) a high degree of accuracy. Over time, this will generate a great time-series dataset to track how fast every flight sells.

I imagine there are some pretty interesting applications in terms of finding easy upgrade availability but I'm curious what else I can do with this data. Would other airlines buy it? How does one even sell this? Would others want me to release it?
