How to determine usual load on a Southwest flight?
I am starting to begin some work in PHX and looking at the MSY-PHX direct RT flights, but not sure I want to take the flight if these fly at full capacity. Is there a way to determine if this flight is normally at 100% or usually goes off at 75% or below? TIA

I find that flights to and from MSY vary quite a bit depending on what is happening in New Orleans. Conventions, football games and Festivals all happen frequently and can cause an unexpected change from what is "normal". People are often not aware of large conventions that are in town, 25,000 orthodontists can make a pretty big impact and no knows when they are there except maybe some on the hospitality industry. That said I don't have a lot of experience with PHX

One can generally Google the convention calendar for a city; for New Orleans I found http://www.neworleanscvb.com/meeting...tion-calendar/
