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.

Hi could someone check loads on two flights for me- ba451 and ba515 from pmi to lhr on 19/7/20 in Econ. Just going by prices I assume the 451 will be much busier and the seat map on expert flyer is showing literally all unreserved seats to be blocked, so wondering if the flight is actually full and the other would be better
Thanks in advance
Thanks in advance

I am going to have to ask you to be a bit more specific. You are basically asking for 6 different sets of data. We are generally happy to do the odd availability search, but this would be abusing the fact that some of us pay for an Expert Flyer subscription and that at the same time they miss out on your subscription.
So ii you can give me ONE outbound and ONE inbound request, I'm happy to help.

Apologies. First time using the forum so unaware as to how it works.
If I could then have information on flight loads departing LHR to DXB on the 26th December and return 30th December.
thank you for your reply and appreciate your help.

Hello Guys,
Is it possible to have the load for EK571 CCU DXB 25th Dec. I have the expert flyer data, however if I can get the numbers, that would be great.
Thanks in advance and happy flying!
