Right now seat map shows 30+ free out of 52 (773 to LHR)
Probably right, headed out of the USA.

Typically on AA50 on a friday I'd see 15-18 open. On Halloween it was 33-34 open.

If you are Gold it will still be tough. IMO. every EXP will clear, then every Plat. Surprisingly more open seats on Friday than Tday....
