How full is my flight?

[Mrs Doubtfire]

Is there any way to check how full a flight is? We are flying out on the 15th July on VS073 (the later flight) and just wondered as I don't really want to pay extra for seats but know if it is full there may be little choice left when it comes to checking in online. Thanks

Not really

Your flight will be full (mid july and especialy on the later flight since that one is cheaper on the way out IIRC)

Not so many people prebook seats, so as long as you hit olci when it opens for your flight you shouldn't have any issue

Well fingers crossed then

We found that by the time OLCI opened for our flight last summer, all but a dozen seats had been pre-booked. The only seats together were exit row, which we ended up paying for (£100 for 2 seats for 1 leg!!!).

Wow that added quite a bit! There are 4 of us so that won't be an option

I'd be surprised if it wasn't full to capacity - we normally fly on the 73 and I've only seen a single free seat here and there.

This is the first time. We normally go October or December. Is immigration still really busy with the later flight?

It's pot luck with immigration. Sometimes we've been the only flight which is in the hall, at other times the flight from Gatwick has just touched down before the 73.

Ok thanks saintrob
