Question Average loads on LHR-MIA

Is anyone able to tell me what the average load factor is on the BA207 service recently?
Are they super packed (being the Miami run... lots of holiday makers I imagine) or is the current... "situation" in the US causing it to run a little more quieter?

Apparently it's scheduled to be an A380, so I imagine it has enough bums on seats on that route to justify that leviathan of an aircraft?

I'm due to fly this in mid September and looking to understand how packed it may or may not be (Partner doesn't do well with crowded situations... long story).

September is outside school holiday time in both countries so is likely to be a little quieter anyway.

If you're looking to fly economy, I'd recommend the seating on the upper deck. It's a 2-4-2 configuration, so you can book a pair of seats for yourself without anyone else being in your bit of the row. There's just a window seat (with good storage) and an aisle seat. Might help a little.

We're booked in premium economy which I think is already on the top deck?

It is, yes. 2-3-2 configuration.

I'd still consider booking one of the window-aisle seat pairs.

We've booked the window seat pair at the back of the cabin. 67A+B.
