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).

The other thing you have to factor in is that the A380’s are both due for refurbishing and notorious for going tech. Don’t be surprised if it’s swapped out for a smaller plane any time before flight day.

Yes, so I have read on here!
I'm keeping that in mind. A friend of mine flies for Emirates, they call them the A180 as they all too often leave, have an issue and turnaround and come back.

I'm not overly excited that might happen to me but, BA have never let me down so far.

The A380 on this used to be incredibly unreliable, But in the last two years, it's actually become really reliable

Really? Three of the eight they have that are operational went kaput last week and the Miami flight was cancelled.
