Just curious if anyone knows the load factor in the business cabin for this route.

Seat maps always look really empty, tickets are running pretty cheap, but no award seats for over a year now.

I don’t about load factors but I did get two super saver business award tickets in May TPE-IAH.

It used to be wide open T-14. There were somedays I saw last year randomly within a month they did release seats but it was so little and on random days of the week.

These #s include last minute buy-ups right? Seems like there were a lot of buy-ups in the past. The buy-up offer was generally 1k.

Those are overall for the whole aircraft. BR does not report cabin-by-cabin #s .

TennisNoob

Got it so sounds like we should reduce the # by 20%-30% because there's a lot of buy-ups. Wow surprising stil imo.

Yes, the numbers are from the DOT public database -- # of passengers divided by # of seats for the IAH-TPE route. I've just collated the database to report these numbers.

Where did you get these? DOT doesn't have them this up to date.

CAA from Taiwan distributes these information as well.
