When are flights fullest?
I'm planning a trip to San Antonio with my baby to see my husband. I would prefer to get on a flight that is not at full capacity. What days/times would work best? Would a Sunday night be bad? Looking for a flight in Feb by the way. Thanks :)

Avoid flying on Fridays or Sundays, they are the heaviest traveling days on a weekly basis. Fly on a Monday or Thursday, those days will be much better and the flights will not be at capacity.

when there is a lot of people on them ;)

Most business travelers fly on a Sunday-Thursday or Monday-Friday Schedule. Generally Sunday evening, Monday morning, and Thursday evening are the busiest, many planes are at 100% capacity during this time. On Fridays, people fly at any time throughout the day, so planes may not be 100% full, but still close to it. On Saturday, planes are also quite full, but with vacation travelers. Tuesday and Wednesday are always the least busy times to fly, unless of course the city you are going to is having a conference.

Fridays and Sundays are pretty full. Your best bet is a Tuesday or Wednesday.
