1.Represents the number of earned seats flown. Earned seats include seats that 
are flown whether or not the passenger turns up because easyJet is a no-refund 
airline, and once a flight has departed a no-show customer is generally not 
entitled to change flights or seek a refund. Earned seats also include seats 
provided for promotional purposes and to staff for business travel.   
  
2. Represents the number of passengers as a proportion of the number of seats 
available for passengers. No weighting of the load factor is carried out to 
recognise the effect of varying flight (or "stage") lengths.
