Any way to find out how crowded a plane will be ? (before buying the ticket)
Upvote:1
Some airlines (United for example) let you see the available seats before you book. That's a fairly decent indicator if it's not too far in the future.
Unfortunately plane loading depends on a large number of factors, time of year, week day, holidays/vacation, route popularity and capacity, connecting routes capacity (and changes) and also special events at source or destination. Sports, graduation, big conference, etc. All of this makes it very difficult to do meaningful statistics.

Couple of suggestions:
Time of year: If flight date is on/near the start of holiday season or major vacation time, then expect more travelers; if school vacations, more so.
Regular airlines vs. charters (for example Air Canada vs. Air Transat): Regular airlines will fly regular routes and will/can fly more often with a less than full plane.
Destination: if destination is a major destination (major hubs like Amsterdam, London...) planes will be more full because of connecting flights.
In all case, expect the worse, and hope for the best (expect a full plane and hope for extra seats)
Good luck.
