John - what class are you flying in? Economy, PE or UC?

A load check gives an indication of available seats within each fare class.

It will show a number between 0-9 - 9 is the highest but doesn't necessarily mean there are just 9 seats, there are a minimum of 9.

You can find out more about fare classes and what each one means using the toolbox.

Have you thought about asking the employee who got the ticket you to check the exact loads?

Thanks guys. Just found out Its a premium economy standby ticket.

Only 6 available in PE. I guess thats not good as LHR - DEL is usually a difficult flight to catch this time of the year.

Any idea how many staff are booked in on Standy on that day? Is good Im travelling alone, does that work in my favour?

Rgrds,


John

Welcome to the site.
This is an independent customer based site, rather than a site run by Virgin Atlantic.
Whilst we do have, and greatly appreciate, contributions from staff members; this probably isn't the best forum for finding information about how many staff are on a flight.
As Tinkerbelle has suggested earlier in the thread, you would probably be better getting this information from whoever got the ticket for you, as they will probably have access to internal systems.

Once again check with the person who got you the ticket - they will have access to the flight loads including how overbooked the flight is and how many on standby etc.

And as Nick said, this isn't really the place to discuss this.
