    That surprises me....when you say it was way off is that because the loads you were looking at showed more seats available than Flight Stats showed??

    On one flight checked Flightstats showed 0 in bizz and 9 in coach. Actual were 0/12. But the killer was on checking another flight, Flightstats did not even show a direct flight with lots of seats available. It only listed several multi-connection route options. I checked also against the airline website seat maps which were closer than Flightstats. I'm a bit bummed because a tool like this would be fantastic. The big question is where is Flightstats getting their info.

    Just did another Flightstats check. One flight shows 0/9 when actual is 0/21. Another two flights checked - Flightstats showed 2/9 open when actual is 2/62 and finally one showing 2/9 when actual available are 2/92! Those are huge discrepancies.
