ATL to DUB July 9, coach loads?
Hi ya,
I've tried to download the KVS availability tool but have been unsuccessful. Can someone kindly tell me what the coach availability is like for the Atlanta to Dublin run, FL# 176 on July 9 and then the return on July 12 DUB to ATL FL#177?
Thank you

Looks pretty open, but you never know what the actual availability is until day of departure

Why do you want to know? Are you in Coach and hope for an Op-Up? 
Well, as of now, Y is only slightly overbooked and J is wide open. Chances might be slim, but one never knows...

Seatcounter.com is your friend if you don't care about award buckets.

Well, these numbers are "only" from Expertflyer. They do not reflect the actual 'Overbooking Allowance' in Y for ATL-DUB. ATL-DUB is one of the routes that allows a pretty high overbooking rate and as of now, the coach cabin is only slightlo ovrbooked.

On a side note, I'd have to say I am rather pathetic. I have only checked the seat mapper for those particlar flights about 100 times a day for the past two weeks, sad, very sad

LOL, you got it. I'm PM and even though its a T ticket, I'm holding out some hope for an overbooked Y cabin. As of now, the Delta seat mapper shows one seat available in coach, though I know you cant gauge anything by that.

I flew JFK to ZRH last week and they actually op-up'ed me on the outbound but had to turn it down as my GF didnt get it, oh well. The rule when I fly with my GF is if only I get the op-up, I turn it down!

People who are obsessive and true frequent flyers should be happy with an ExpertFlyer subscription.

The time before that, when I was op-upped, the class of the ticket changed to a 'J' class.
What is the policy on op-ups? Has it changed at all from years past so that when you had a coach class fare, it now stays the same?

For what it's worth, my daughter, wife, and I were all op-upped on this route on 6/30. Coach had been full and business wide-open for the last couple of weeks before that flight.
