Seat map/availability
Hi. I've done an extensive search for this on the forums for this, and I haven't found an answer.
Sometimes I want to see how crowded a flight is going to be (more for bump posibilities than for upgrades since I have no status). I usually check the seat maps on Orbitz/Expedia. Looking at some of the specifics cited in some of the posts leads me to believe there is a better way, but I have not been able to figure out how.
Is there a better site to do this? Are people quoting from expertflyer which I am not a member of?
Thanks in advance.

We have just added a new feature that allow you to view from one to three cabins on a particular flight on one screen to get a view of how "crowded a flight is going to be".
