Seats are the other half of the picture. On the 80 flights that reported both numbers, the terminal released an average of 8 seats and 0 were taken, so a typical flight on this route left with about 8 Space-A seats empty. Some room most days, but not so much that showing up late is safe.

How much the posted schedule moved

A schedule on the 72-hour board is a plan, not a promise, and on this route the record says how much of a plan. Of the 11 flights posted to NSA Souda Bay's board for Ramstein AB in the last 120 days, 5 (45 percent) disappeared from the board more than twelve hours before they were due to fly, 2 (18 percent) changed their roll-call time after first posting, and 0 (0 percent) changed their seat count. That is a volatile route. Set a watch and check the morning of.
