Hello,

I am traveling with United today from Boston to Newark, and when I checked in online with Lufthansa yesterday, the system spit out only my boarding pass with sequence number 4. For my traveling-companion no boarding-pass fopr that segment came out, so we had to wait for physical checkin today to get her boarding pass. Much to my surprise the that one showed sequence number 189 - on a plane that seats 120 people.

Can this really be true that the flight has almost 70 more people booked and checked in than there are seats, or has this number just no meaning vs. an almost accurate headcount at time of checking in that it has with Lufthansa? Flight shows "Full" on united.com in both classes, and Y1 on Expertflyer.

Thanks for any insight on this...

Greetings - Dirk
