Information on Load requests
The number of seats for sale for a flight are available via ExpertFlyer.com, a subscription-based service with a 5-day free trial. A subscription is $9.99/month and can be enabled and disabled any time. It is encouraged to subscribe rather than post repeatedly in this thread.
NB: Op-up changes or overselling of a flight cannot be determined with certainty from this information, only inferred to be more or less probable.
For a once-off load request please follow these guidelines:
Flight loads >7 days out are not very useful, as the airline could still sell many seats, unless availability of a specific fare bucket (e.g. Business Saver upgrade) is requested. If you wish to know the general flight load please don't post >7 days before departure.
When requesting a load please provide the following information:
- Date of flight (departure date)
- Flight Number
- Origin
- Destination
These four fields are mandatory in searching on ExpertFlyer (see screenshot below) and it isn't fair to except those who pay for their subscriptions to also have to go look up which cities a specific flight number is from and to (also some flight numbers are onward flights (5th freedom routes, e.g. CMB-MLE) and loads will differ significantly depending on which sector of the flight is checked.

Haha yes I'm not being able to figure. I'm in CCU atm and I'm flying out tomorrow. They asked for 12k for OLCI upgrade. I know more people flying who have no status and they too got the same offer. Offer is still there since check-in opened last night.
AI to CCU on the 319?

There'll likely be many op-ups.
Yes, looks like it's either VT-SCA, SCB or SCC on most days, A319, from HYD (not DXB, or I'd be flying EK!). Back on Indigo (6E) A320 the same day. 4hrs of flying for 7 hours of work + lunch, yay!

12k just to DXB? Not bad, ~200$. From HYD I usually see ~300-400$.

No P is Business I think (EF lists classes in sequence of F, J, PY and Y, so as P appears before Y in the list it would appear to be a fare bucket belonging to business. IIRC it's one of the classes for awards/upgrades (Saver?)

Yeah, think I read P was 'suites' on EK. Just on way to airport and my seats have disappeared and can't look at seat map. Better not lose my good seats!

Anyone offer some advice on what would be the best dates to book my other half and kids (3yr and 4 months) from LHR to CRK in Y.
Really looking at booking in the first 2 weeks of September then a return in early March 2018.
