Thread: How good is ZED Light when it comes to swapping airlines?

There are several ways, many of which have already been posted on these forums.
If you have access to your own airlines' CRS, an availability display will give a little insight. If you zero's, that's a good indication it's full. Another way is to visit the airlines' website and attempt to purchase
seats, generally the maximum you can purchase without it becoming a group reservations is 9. If it allows you 9 seats, that's a good indication it's open.
Of course, these will only give you a rough idea. You will have no insight into the other airlines' over booking profile for a particular flight - A flight from A - B may already be sold to capacity, but the airline has permitted sales beyond that level.

The best way is to contact the airline directly or place a request here under the forum heading Loads.

There are still two airlines selling seats and I'm looking at Wed/Thurs flights, but it is Holy Week so I was mostly wondering if there was a way to see the # of non-revs. We don't fly there (isn't that always the way it works) so I'm stuck on that.

I thought about that, but was hoping there was an option that I didn't need to pester folks. Thank you for the input, I'll make a post in there.
