Or maybe the actual number of available seats is more interesting, though of course consists vary in length.

Thank you posting that info. I have two groups of questions.
Where do I find that JSON info? I know how to get the raw page source; is it in there?
What is criticalCapacity? What is availableInventory? Sometimes one is larger and sometimes the other, which mean that sometimes the quotient is larger than unity and sometimes smaller, which doesn't make sense. It seems I'm misunderstanding something.
