Seat Availability
I'm trying to figure out how you guys go about checking to see how many seats are available on specific flights. I used to use a website that allowed you look up how many seats were available in each class by entering the airline, date, and flight number. I've lost track of that website.
Does such a website still exist or how are you guys doing it?
I'm a newbie still.

Keep in mind that sites like this, or anything else available outside the airlines' databases themselves, max out at 7-9 (depends on the airline) available seats per flight even if it's a 747 with no seats sold yet. (The reasons have to do with optimizing database performance.) If that's not enough for you, you'll have to call the airline's Group Sales department or someone else who can see the real numbers.

www.expertflyer.com is a more powerful tool in my opinion.
