Current methods to check fare/booking class availability:
BCD Travel flight availability tool (free)currently down- Expertflyer.com $99 / year
- KVS Fees Vary
- Travel Agent Friends
If you are requesting flight load / class availability, please provide the following:
1. Actual travel date (don't say tomorrow, or similar, as that is ambiguous given the global flyertalk membership)
2. Departure and arrival airport codes
3. Flight number
Thanks!

Oh I wasn't getting at you personally but it's just easier to check. I wouldn't look into flight loads/what's for sale too much with the flights being still in relative terms that far off.
Anyhow, here are the loads/what's available for sale.

The next flight is also all the 9's.
Expert Flyer is only £7 ish a month and worth it, it can be extremely useful at times and you can get a free 5 day trial. I do also find it addictive at times.
Frequency and Reliability
The Frequency denotes the days of the week that the particular flight operates. The Reliability is the On Time Percentage and the Average Delay in Minutes of the flight over the last two monthsAnyhow, here are the loads/what's available for sale.

Please would someone take a look at the BA2689 on Sunday 10th Feb (GOA-LGW) and let me know how full this is, both in C and Y cabins?
My GF is on the flight so wants to know to decide whether to try and check-in her hand-baggage at GOA (and wait in the legendary GOA check-in queues) or just get her BP on the phone and head straight through security.
Many Thanks

As a layman, this means the flight looks pretty full?

Thank you - can you remind me how to interpret these as have long forgotten! C=0 means the CE cabin is full? But what do all the EuroTraveller ones actually mean as I recall you don't add up all the multiple ET fare buckets together to get the total free seats?
As a layman, this means the flight looks pretty full?

Bizarrely, 2 of the three ET seats are being sold for $39 all in, with the 3rd being closer to $800. I'm not surprised by the high fare for the "last" seat - but I'd have thought with a nearly full flight they'd be looking for more than $39 each for two of the three remaining seats they're currently willing to sell.

Hi everyone - could somebody check the loads again for the below flights. I’m hoping to be able to pay for an upgrade on one (or both) but the upgrade costs are all over the place. Thank you
