What does the % value mean with a load check?

Hi. I just wondered if anyone would be able to answer this question?
There is a % amount before the seats available in each class ticket. What is that percentage?

Many thanks!

No idea I'm afraid. Expert Flyer will only show a maximum of 9 seats in any fare bucket, as the information is commercially sensitive.

That said, if they are showing say 5 seats in Z (heavily discounted Upper Class) and you go online to book & indicate you want fully flexible J fares, I am sure the VS website will snap your hand off to the tune of around £4k per return ticket.

Also remember that on a group booking I am fairly sure you all have to be booked in the same fare bucket. So only a few seats left in a cheap bucket & you want more than what's showing as available, then everyone on the booking gets bumped up to the next fare code. It can pay to make individual / per couple bookings when travelling as a group to snare the lower fares if they are running low.

I think it's the percentage on time with the number following being the average minutes late but could be totally wrong

It is.

but could be totally wrong

You're not!

From the Expert Flyer Help pages:

Frequency and Reliability

The Frequency denotes the days of the week that the particular flight operates. The Reliability is the On Time Percentage and the Average Delay in Minutes of the flight over the last two months. More detailed Flight Reliability Ratings can be found on the Travel Information page.

That's great! Thanks!
