Well that's what I was told by one of the agents at the transfer desk (that the aircraft went tech) after I insisted he checked but whether or not that's true I don't know and the are hardly going to admit this was done due to light loads.
Have to say that the fact that ExpertFlyer was showing at least 9 available seats in every fare class even earlier today does make you wonder. That plus the fact that this happens on a rather regular bases, and if it really is a tech issue are LXs A340 that problematic?
The annoying thing is that had I known about this earlier I would have asked to be put on the earlier LY flight as I was here well in time for that one.
