Hello All,

Recently signed up to become a gold member of Vflyer.

Flying MAN-MCO on Wednesday 4th Feb and wonder how full the flight is, especially up in Premium Ecconomy. Does anyone know the load factor of the flight???

I was led to believe that by becoming a member of Vflyer you got some sort of privelages on a website called Expert Flyer??

Anyone with some knowledge I would love to hear from you. Also my return flight MCO-MAN on the 20th (VS 76).

Get the feeling that Virgin flights on this route are pretty well full??

Experflyer is showing VS75 as:
J5 D5 R5 Z5 W6 S6 K6 Y0 B0 L0 M0 Q0 X0 N0. So rammed down the back and PE looking pretty empty.

VS76
J2 D2 R2 Z2 W4 S4 K3 Y4 B1 L1 M0 Q0 X0 N0. Looking full down back again with PE looking busy.

Details on how to use your Expertflyer membership are in the Restricted Access section under Experflyer.

Can someone decode the above for me?? I assume the letter sof the alphabet refer to fare codes and the numerics refer to seats remaining???

Essentially, from left to right (in groups), the number of seats VS are willing to sell at certain fare levels.

J D R Z = Upper class, in price order (G reward seats are hidden)
W S K = PE (U reward seats and H Virgin Holidays tickets are hidden)
Y B L M Q X N = Economy (T reward seats are hidden)

'7' is the maximum shown, and means 7 OR MORE tickets available to buy at that price level. As the lower levels run out (ie: K3), if you want a 4th ticket, the LOWEST one you could buy would be the next one up (S)
