What to check before choosing

For user-reported load data, where the report came from and when it was posted both matter. A single entry cannot guarantee that a seat will be available.

    For airline employees flying non-rev, the app solves a real problem: seeing load on a partner carrier's flight, which previously required a phone call. A recent update hurt data entry, but the platform's value remains high.

    Praised: Getting live load data from colleagues at another airline just minutes before boarding.

    Complaints: Data reliability depends on user honesty. Fraudulent entries showing zero load do occur.
