Any way of knowing how the passenger load is for this route? We are flying on the 25th this month with two kids (1 year and 5 year) in Y so wanted to check if we'll be in a full cabin or not.

The reason is route was upgraded to an A388 was that UA lost there GSA city pair contract (this is the how the US Government buys airfare for employees) for the route to B6. Of course B6 is code sharing with EK on this route. That contract is for about 40 J pax a day as most government employees can book into J in this long of a segment. UA has since cut the route. No clue what Y demand is for this route.
