Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about checking flight loads and non-rev travel

Is GetFlightLoads really free?

Yes! You get free credits on signup to start checking flight loads immediately—no credit card required. These credits are generous enough for most users' needs. If you need more, you can purchase additional credits at any time. There are no monthly subscriptions or hidden fees.

Which airlines are supported?

GetFlightLoads supports a growing network of airlines worldwide. You can browse our complete airline list to see all supported carriers. We continuously add new airlines and routes to expand our coverage. Each airline page shows their complete route network with real-time availability data.

What is PSA (Passenger Seat Availability)?

PSA (Passenger Seat Availability) shows the number of seats available for sale on a flight. For non-rev travelers, this is crucial information because it indicates how full a flight might be. Lower PSA numbers mean fewer available seats, which could affect your chances of getting on as a standby passenger. GetFlightLoads provides real-time PSA data directly from the GDS.

Can I check loads for specific routes?

Yes! Simply use our search form on the homepage to enter your departure and arrival airports, select your travel dates, and GetFlightLoads will show you available flights with real-time seat availability. You can also browse by airline to see their complete route network and check specific routes.

Do I need to create an account?

Yes, you need to create a free account to start checking flight loads. Simply provide your email and password, and you'll receive free credits on signup. Creating an account takes just seconds and allows us to allocate your credits and track your searches securely.

How often is the data updated?

Our data is updated in real-time from the Global Distribution System (GDS). When you search for a flight, you're getting the most current seat availability information available. This ensures you have accurate, up-to-date information for your non-rev travel planning.

What are ZED fares?

ZED (Zonal Employee Discount) fares are deeply discounted tickets available to airline employees for standby travel on other airlines. ZED agreements allow employees of one airline to travel on partner airlines at reduced rates. GetFlightLoads helps you check seat availability on ZED-eligible flights so you can plan your interline travel effectively.

What is ID90 travel?

ID90 (Industry Discount 90%) refers to heavily discounted tickets available to airline employees, typically offering up to 90% off regular fares. ID90 travel is usually on a standby basis, making it essential to check flight loads before heading to the airport. GetFlightLoads provides the seat availability data you need to make informed ID90 travel decisions.

What is myIDTravel?

myIDTravel is a popular platform used by airline employees to book and manage their ID90 and ZED travel. It provides access to discounted fares and allows employees to check flight availability. However, myIDTravel may not always show real-time seat availability, which is where GetFlightLoads comes in. We provide accurate, up-to-date PSA data to help you plan your non-rev travel more effectively.

How is GetFlightLoads different from StaffTraveler, NonRevLoads, or StaffAirlines?

GetFlightLoads uses a simple credit system with no monthly subscriptions. You get free credits to start, and only purchase more if needed. We focus on simplicity and speed—just fast, accurate flight load data with a clean interface. No community dependency, no complex features you don't need. We also don't require app downloads; everything works in your browser.

Can I use GetFlightLoads on mobile?

Absolutely! GetFlightLoads is fully responsive and works perfectly on all devices - smartphones, tablets, and desktop computers. You don't need to download any apps; just open your browser and you're ready to check flight loads on the go.

How many searches can I do?

You receive free credits on signup that are sufficient for typical travel planning needs. Each search uses one credit. You can purchase additional credits if needed. This pay-as-you-go model means you only pay for what you actually use, with no recurring subscriptions.

What if a flight shows low availability?

If a flight shows low seat availability (low PSA), it means the flight is filling up quickly. As a non-rev traveler, this could impact your chances of getting on as a standby passenger. We recommend checking alternative flights, different times, or nearby airports. Our airline route network maps help you discover alternative routing options.

Do you have a mobile app?

Currently, GetFlightLoads is a web-based platform optimized for all devices. Our responsive design works seamlessly on mobile browsers, providing the same fast, reliable experience without requiring an app download. This means you always have access to the latest features without app updates.

Is my search history private?

Yes! We respect your privacy. We don't track or store your search history unless you create an account and opt in. We don't sell your data or require excessive personal information. Our focus is on providing you with the flight information you need, not monetizing your data.

Can I check loads for cargo flights?

Currently, GetFlightLoads focuses on passenger flights and passenger seat availability (PSA). Cargo flight information is not available at this time. We're continuously improving our service and may add additional features based on user feedback.

How do I interpret the seat numbers?

The seat availability numbers shown represent PSA (Passenger Seat Availability) - the number of seats still available for sale in each cabin class. Higher numbers mean more availability, which generally improves your chances as a non-rev standby passenger. However, remember that other factors like weight restrictions, operational needs, and priority levels also affect boarding.
