How does that work? Who's data is more accurate? Is this evidence of overselling? Confused.
Most flights can be over sold if needed.
If there are F saets available they can always use them to do upgrades to free up coach seats
Also seat maps may have some blocked seats that do not show that are needed for airport control. Lap kids that need to be in a row with xtra O2 masks and Handicap seats
