Researching Load Factors?

Hi, I've recently seen some posts here and on Airliners.net on people discussing load factors for flights. How do you view these load factors? Specifically out of ORD for international and domestic.

The airlines' websites may be a start. I found this for AA, though it isn't broken down by airport:

Mildly shocked at their domestic load factor. I can't recall the last time I had a whole row available to myself.

Load factors for specific flights or routes are trade secrets and not something readily available.

Try expertflyer

That's what a few frequent flyers seem to be using. I think there's a pro version which gets you more details but you can trial that version for free at least.

On air nz I select my flights right up to the point of seat select (which is before paying) to see how full things are but this is not as accurate as expertflyer I think. Alternatively you could call the contact centre for the flight you're considering.
