expert flyer and JQ buckets

[DTM1]

Quick question - am flying *C on JQ from SYD - HKT next week and checked availability on expert flyer.

I noticed that the max number for any JQ bucket appears to be 4. I assume that this is the JQ default max ?

Is this an EF aspect or JQ ? I note that other airlines range up to 9.

Is there any other way of assessing load ?

JQ only go up to 4.

For contrast AA go up to 7, QF go up to 9.

Doing a dummy booking and selecting seats may indicate a trend via the number of un/allocated seats.

Also the presence of availability in the cheaper fare buckets can help.

thanks.

good suggestion re dummy booking. so far, looks like a light load - had no problem with a dummy booking for 10 in *class.
