I realise that there is no D class availability and it will only be confirmed at the check-in desk but it seems quite farfetched to suggest that the cabin is overbooked?
they give this overbooked excuse all the time....just today i was flying from pnq-bom & wanted to upgrade my colleague's ticket....they told me premiere was overbooked so it couldn't be done....at the airport they told me it couldn't be done till boarding time so we waited....they eventually gave the upgrade & it turned out that there were only 2 seats booked in premiere, the remaining 6 were empty....after my colleague got his seat there were still 5 seats that went empty....if this is what they mean by overbooked then i wonder what a light load would be....
