Does anyone know what the load factors are for the B6 BOS to SAT route? I just flew to SAT and the plane was full, and it was the only day this week where the tickets weren't insanely priced when I got it so I'm assuming it's full all week. Is that unusual or does B6 need to add another daily flight...
