Historical flight loads
I'm probably posting this in the wrong place, for which I apologize, and I'm not exactly sure of the right words to use for the title.
Anyway, I'd like to know if there's a website where one can check how full flights have historically been. For example, to get to ACC on Delta from CHO I can select flights going through ATL or JFK, with or without a layover in AMS.
Having just yesterday picked up PM for the first time, and expecting to fly to ACC in January, I'd be interested in spending a couple of minutes trying to maximize my chances of an upgrade.
Knowing that there's never a guarantee, I'd still like to look at the numbers.
Thanks, ya'll.

Some information may be available in statistics but I don't know if these are publicly available. And probably it is not down to a specific flight, more for a certain route or day.

And remember that airlines may adapt the aircraft size depending on loads. So the fact that yesterday a specific flight had a 50% load on an A321, does not mean that today there will be any free space if they use an A319..
