Web Site that lists flight loads?
Hello,
So, I've finally become sick of being on overbooked flights! My mom used to be a travel agent and I remember her using Apollo to find flight load (how many people, how many open seats, etc) information on United flights. My question -- are there any travel websites that will list united load information? The expert mode on ITN.NET "sort of" does this, only listing a maximum of nine seats, but I would like to see the whole deal.
Thanks for your help,
Ben

mreplus,
ITN or the Availability tool is the best you're gonna get when trying to determine overbooked flights.
Airlines' phone agents will also typically tell you whether or not a flight is overbooked but never by how much.
Just enjoy oversold flights and reap in the bumps
Edited to add: http://flyaow.com/classamex.htm will take you directly to the ITN availability site without having to log in.

Is this interpretation right?
Thanks for the question mreplus, and thanks for the link slippahs.
I'm assuming that the letter is the fare class, and the digit is the number of seats left, where 9 means >=9 (ie could be many of seats available). In the examples below, the first flight is sold out, the transatlantic flights may have many empty seats, the Munich-Geneva flight has very limited availability, and the Paris-Frankfurt flight has availability.
Thanks for your help.
