Way to Know How Full a SW flight is?

[MamaBear58]

Is this possible? On US Airways' website it's fairly easy. You click a button and it shows you which seats (and the applicable class) are available. Unless I'm missing it, I don't see it for SW.

Been reading about how some flights out of NY sold out when they were released on 3/3. Worried because I need 11/15, which isn't getting released until 5/19 (the same day I need to be online early for ADRs!!). So I was trying to see how full some of the October flights are, but I can't figure out how to do it.

Thanks.

If all 3 fare classes show "sold out", then it's sold out. I think some of the people saying "sold out" mean for "wanna get away" fares. There's no seat map on SW.

Even on USAirways, they have seats blocked for airport check-in, so they are not necessarily sold if they don't show on the map.

I understand that if it says "sold out" that all seats at that price are currently sold out. But that doesn't show the actual seat arrangement and what is currently available. It's the map I wanted, so thank you for telling me that SW doesn't make one available.

Yep, southwest does not have a map and if you call they won't give you numbers either.

The only thing I've done is price a flight and put in 8 people...if it lets you, then I would say there are at least 8 seats left...maybe!
