I would be very surprised if you can find any legitimate source for actual number of seats available. I would be surprised even if travel agents have access to anything other than the number of seats available for sale by class - ie including the overbooking profile. The reason for this is that it is commercially sensitive information that could be used by others. If you are a travelling on a commercial ticket with an OK status just turn up at the appointed time, if on a ID ticket with another airline you will have to take your chances or visit a travel agent to see what they can tell you or rely on a contact within BA.

Loads..

Hi...there is a number which appears to have changed...admittingly i did get it in a slightly dodgy way!!!???
Anyway i will keep trying but thanks for your help...

Info such as seats available could be useful to competitors and is treated as commercial confidential by airlines.

I believe that if someone from another airline's load control department wanted to know the loads on another airline, they would easily get access to that information.
