LHR-JFK VS045 v VS009

Evening all
I am hoping that a dear guru can answer my query.[y]
I'm flying on Monday, in PE, VS009,4pm. I'm thinking of changing to the VS045 at 2pm.
What are the loads in PE looking like please? Is one flight far more empty than another.
In general what are V-Flyers opinions of one flight compared to another.
I intend to have hand baggage only,[y]so no queueing for bags after immigration.
Many thanks in advance. R-P

According to expertflyer.com:

It looks like there is loads of availability in PE.

I did vs45 back in December and the wait at customs was near 90mins. This comes up quite regularly and the last discussion on this can be found http://www.v-flyer.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=22834

Regs,

Andy

Although the 045 is better timed in my opinion, the 009 is far better for immigration.

45.

I know that I am a sarni short of a picnic when it comes to some of the info so very kindly given by Andy.
So please assist me. Am I right in interpreting the above info that there is diddlysquat on the VS045 but loads of availability on the VS009?
Sorry, been awake a long time already today!
Sorry again but THANK YOU[:)]

I think he gave you vs45 info assuming you already had vs9 info.

I am not an expert flyer whizz, but it looks like there is lots of availability on the 3rd for flight 9 also.

According to expertflyer:

VS009 as of 13:30 01/03/08
x=occupied o=free - means there is no physical seat there (according to expertflyer)

Thank you very much indeed, much appreciated[y]

The 009 and 45 are both light in PE.

However the 45 is very busy in Y but the 9 is light in all cabins.

Thank you declan, you too are a total star[y][:)]

Enjoy the snow. R-P [;)]
