International flight already oversold in Y, 2 1/2 weeks from departure

Folks,

Out of the many international flights I've taken on Delta, this is the first time I've seen coach filled to capacity so far in advance.

The flight is JFK to AGP (Malaga) on June 24, 2010. Equipment is a 757. I noticed the flight, as expert flyer shows it, sold out in Y with only 3 in J available, as early as last week.

I've never seen this before. I would imagine this is a good indicator that either:

A: this flight should/could be operated by a larger aircraft (767)

B: travel demand to Europe has rebounded from last year.


Now, it already looks good, at two weeks before departure, that there will either be op-ups or IDB's with some nice delta bucks at the offering.
