Is it possible to see how busy my flights to Orlando and back are Please

VS 75 31 August from Manchester

Just wondering whether to book seat plus for the way back - we are 2 couples.

Thanks very much

THanks David for the speedy reply!! Am I right in thinking then that there are still quite a lot of available
seats?? On both flights??? Should I hang out until check in before asking about seat plus????

(Sorry if this is stupid but what does the 61%/43m mean????) ---- (oooh is it the percentage its late and by the minutes???)

Thanks again

Maureen

Yes, your right about the 61%/63 mins

This page tells you all about fare codes.

It's quite difficult to correctly guess how many seats are left as there are still a few weeks to go before your flights and a load check doesn't give you exact numbers - you don't just add up all the numbers

No one except VS know how many M's, O's D's or Z's etc there are so there is no way to tell exactly how many seats in total are left.

Outbound are still selling M fares, inbound there are still O's available which are the cheapest.

It's safe to say there are plenty of seats available on the inbound with less available on the outbound. Whether you want to pay for seat plus on the way out is (unfortunately) only a decision you can make, on your return, at the moment, I wouldn't bother.

Load checks don't say how many seats are available but how many seats an airline is prepared to sell for a flight.

For example on the outbound VS is only prepared to sell 3 more tickets in UC but none on the return flight.

Seat maps aren't reliable either as not everyone selects a seat in advance
