If you are requesting flight load / class availability, please provide the following:

BA2205 14/07/2019 Load Details

Looking forward to our family holiday starting in Sunday. Just wondered how busy our flight is likely to be. We’re fortunate enough to be flying J, but would be interest to know how busy all three cabins could be.

Also any photos of the food currently being served ex LGW in J would be appreciated by the family😉.

Thanks FG

FYI, the query on ExpertFlyer (where this info came from) requires the airport pair, so just giving the flight number means a tiny bit more effort on the part of those who you are asking for the info. The catering options might be in other threads?

Many thanks for the speedy response Peter H. Apologies for making you do some extra work to get the info out of Expert Flyer - it is very much appreciated though. FG

Hi everyone,

Can someone check the loads on:
BA245 on 8th Feb 2020 and BA245 on 15th FEB
LHR-EZE

I'm a bit puzzeld. Was searching for CW tickets AMS-EZE on BA, found one way fares app. 1000 euro, but yesterday availability for 8 Feb dissapeared. So was trying to postpone for a week and fly on 15 Feb instead. This afternoon there was availability, 2 adults, 1 child and 1 infant. Just wanted to book and now it says there is only one ticket left for that fare class. Very strange, seatmap looks still the same. It cán happen, but also a bit suspicious the availibility suddenly dropped on both dates.

Also bear in mind that the seat map has little bearing on availability especially at this stage given that the flight in 7 months away.

7 months ahead, I guess it may come back. Or not

..

It's now available with a transfer via LGW, so it could be that the problem is the AMS-LHR leg.

Thanks for the help!

Hi all

Me and the Mrs flying back from YYZ on BA98 on 18th of July. I see the flight has changed from 788 to 789 and I have managed to select seats in the F cabin.

I want to avoid being kicked out of these and be separated from my wife should they close the F cabin. We are both silver if that helps our case for staying? Can someone please provide the availability for this flight to help with the decision making?

Thanks in advance.
