Checking EK loads prior to staff travel
 

Esteemed EK ladies and gentlemen,

I've searched but cannot find where to get an accurate idea of loads on your flights. I would like to travel on standby tickets (ZED) with my wife and child from FCO to DXB and back (ideally EK098 23 Feb and EK095 01 Mar), and while flyzed.com is showing the flights as wide open, from what I hear your flights are usually jam-packed, so I'm beginning to distrust flyzed.

Any pointers on where a non-EK staff traveler can get a more accurate idea of your loads?

Many thanks.

As to my experience FlyZED only shows halfway accurate loads for Lufthansa flights, and those of their closes partners (Austrian, Swiss).
For my company it might show red for a flight which is barely half full, for Qatar I saw flights showing green while colleges from there told me they're even overbooked.

Easiest way.... call the Airline and ask...

Flyzed is crab... can't use it at all for stby flying...

Enjoy staff travel whilst you can....
Gulf Air allegedly have published a severe downgrade in staff travel availability for staff and retired staff...effective January 01 2012.
