Hey Wheeledtraveler,

I just took a look at the loads and for a month out they aren't looking the best. There are seats, but I have a feeling the will start to dwindle as your departure day approaches. It seems that Delta revenue management has decided to only offer two flights to london from ATL this summer or at least for the dates you want instead of the three we discussed prior - One flight to LHR and one to LGW. On the other hand the JFK loads still look promising as there are three departures to LHR. For the return segments the loads look slightly more promising for the direct back to ATL. My advice would be to get to London, enjoy your trip, and then check the loads a couple days before your return to plan your angle of attack. I just returned from Rio this weekend and had to leave a day earlier then scheduled, but sometimes you have to make these types of sacrifices to get back home.

You should talk to the employee who is giving you their buddy passes and have them show you the loads for the flights in person. Unfortunately, it's against Delta company policy for me to share load statistics to the general public.

Hope that was of help,

Ross
