So available seats in the map are no indication of load on the flight.

I checked the loads on experflyer and it looks ok for this stage - not massively sold, but not undersold either.

Also - according to the expertflyer seatmap only 3 seats are actually taken in Y - the others are all blocked due to bassinets or space for crew rest.
