Basically I'm asking if there is no point looking at expertflyer for BA until T-24 or is it accurate months out?
Look at the flight availability and fare classes the airline is willing to offer for sale, gives a potential indication of how busy the flight is. Note,indication only. Better barometer than the seat maps, due to ba charging cash seat selection in advance of check-in.
