Hi. I've done an extensive search for this on the forums for this, and I haven't found an answer.

Sometimes I want to see how crowded a flight is going to be (more for bump posibilities than for upgrades since I have no status). I usually check the seat maps on Orbitz/Expedia. Looking at some of the specifics cited in some of the posts leads me to believe there is a better way, but I have not been able to figure out how.

Is there a better site to do this? Are people quoting from expertflyer which I am not a member of?

Thanks in advance.
