Loads on LAX-DEN?
I was having a look at the seat map and there is only like 5 of us selected seats, even if you select all fare levels.
Is this route dead mid-week? I am using the 9.05am departure for once but from experience I dont usually see low loads on this route.

How far ahead are you looking?
LAX-DEN generally runs north of 80% full, a notch lighter in winter and a notch heavier in summer.
Seat maps are not always especially telling of passengers booked for a variety of reasons. One of several reasons is that some booking avenues don't allow seat selection. Even more notable for Frontier, until fairly recently Frontier did not allow advance seat selection until check in for any enconomy passengers. So it's still common for seat maps to look pretty much barren 24 hours out but then fill in heavily through online check-in and airport check-in.
Any given flight can of course be higher or lower than average, and you might find your particular flight lighter than average. But it won't be anywhere near 5 passengers.
