Whilst VA apears to be the black hole, the loads for VA in June seem to be much better... they have gone out full on several days this month. I think May in general is a quiet time for air international air travel... the BTRE stats show it as the slowest month.

As for Pacific Blue, a few of their flights are capped ... would the load factor be calculated on the capacity (180seats) or the capacity available for sale (ie150 seats?)

If it is based on 180 seats then the LF would be lower, but those flights charge $$ for the tickets and then earn considerable extra $$ in excess charges... so yield would be ok on those despite the lower LF I presume???
