Full F cabin SYD-CHC
Travelling SYD-CHC on Sun 29th Nov. Occupnacy has been 1/8 until I checked today when it has become 8/8. Must be unusual for this route and I wonder if there is any reason I'm missing - a FT do perhaps?

It does seem odd - but perhaps not TOO unusual.
I flew the same sector (both directions) earlier this year in F on a full rev ticket, when the cabin was 8/8 (out) and 7/8 (back).
My own pet theory (unverified as yet !) is that the route attracts a good few QF status pax who have worked out that not only is EK the preferred option for the trans-Tasman route, but also that - since the alliance - they can score UG's whether by use of miles accumulated 'cheaply' via QF domestic travel, or the occasional opup based on status.
