Hi,

My question in fact boils down to this - does F4 A4 mean that CX is withholding 8 (or 4) seats? According to fakecd's calculation, they are withholding 8 , always, since I havent come across any Galilep yield that has more than F4 A4. Now, why should CX hold so many seats? Is this not contrary to company interest?


Regards,

My friend, inventory information is not interpreted that way. 4F and 4A simply means 4 first class inventory is available for EITHER of F or A, NOT individually. Therefore, for example, if one person grabs the seat using either subclasses, the inventory might show 3F and 3A. OR, it can remain at 4F/4A because, as you say, there are 12 seats available, and say they intend to sell 8 (4 for VIP or whatever). Then, that's 7/8 seats available, so it will still show 4F and 4A.

Similar story for other classes. When it say J1C1I1 doesn't mean 3 seats are available. If one person grabs the biz seat, it might turn to J0C0I0.

Hope this helps
