Each flight is different; there isn't a specific % of seats which are set aside for 'C' class. It largely depends on the day of the week and the historic loads of a particular flight. So no easy answer to your question.</font>
I understand that there will be some yield control measures in place to maximize revenue per flight, but this was a Sunday afternoon flight that left with an empty seat in J. Empress do you know if the yield control rules have changed to err on the side of no seats, or at least many fewer seats, available in C to keep J inventory available for as long as possible?? Aren't the new discounted J fares supposed to be in C class?
