Is there a way to look up passenger loading?

Hi team and network
can anyone advise how to find typical passenger loads by flight number?
This is to focus on flights with typically low passenger bookings in business class to maximise the chance of getting an upgrade
thanks in advance

Hi,

I only know of a paid membership/subscription - ExpertFlyer that can look up flight loading information.

thanks very much for this

Hi @StoliSam.
If you work in the industry you have access to various apps/services (other than the official airline booking systems) as well that you can use for your personal travel. These show loads and standby wait times when travelling “non-rev” - non-revenue, with your employee perks/benefits etc… Find someone who is in the industry with access, or try one of the paid services like @w.hiew suggested.
Cheers!! :+1:

awesome thanks kindly

If you join Australian Frequent Flyer, they also have a useful Forum thread called “Flight Availability/Loadings and Upgrade Probability Helpdesk”, where you can ask AFF members who have ExpertFlyer and other tools to look up loadings for you.

Obviously you don’t want to take advantage of AFF members by asking too often, but for occasional enquiries this can be really helpful.
