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!

Awesome. Thank you. I was just curious as the J seats seem to be very full (considering not everyone can book seats for free) but still 6 showing free in F. So No upgrade opp after all. At least I can manage expectations and will order my meal...

Load (US POS) now reported as this:
BA 107
LHR 04/28/19 12:50 PM
DXB 04/28/19 11:05 PM
388 Daily 79% / 21m
F2 Z0 J0 C0 D0 R0 I0 U0 W0 E0 T0 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 V9 N9 O9 G9
And a dummy booking (tried to do US POS, and URL supports that, but prices given in UKP) says they still have 2 J ("2 left at...") and 4 F ("4 left at...") to sell. There are 6 "open" seats in F (much more in J but that is less indicative.)

UK POS makes no difference for loads.

Morning
Could someone take a look at:
BA286
SFO-LHR
May 3rd
Pricing really high for J so booked W, trying to make an informed guess about cabin movement and whether I should hold out on W, or get my company to bite the bullet and pay the full whack
Thanks in advance

My feeling is that your company should always pay the "full whack!"

I tend to agree but as the budget holder it means one less trip for someone on the team (or me) if I shell out the 9.5K BA wanted. I always spend it like it's my own....
