I have a flight on GA LHR-CGK Sunday Dec 18th, the flight normally operates Tues, Sat, Sun, and noticed something very odd: for the weekend I'm traveling and the following weekend (Christmas weekend) the flights are 0'd out in all buckets but the flight looks darn near empty.
I tried calling the FC phone number but the agent never really seemed to understand the question so tried emailing and GA responded:
With regards to your query about our flight operating on 17Dec and 18DEC, please note that we are operating flights on both the days
Our current schedule for flights between London Heathrow and Jakarta is as following:-
(Tue, Sat, Sun) GA086 CGK0720 – 1000SIN1105 – LHR1725
(Tue, Sat, Sun) GA087 LHR2015 – CGK1705+1(next day arrival)
But I'm having a very hard time not being worried about this, they are not selling any more seats in any class and while I know that seat maps are not an exact representation of availability the plane looks to have about 45 people on it +/- so that would mean that 200+ people bought tickets (including selling out J and F) and never selected a seat..on the plus side assuming everything goes well I might have F all to myself. Making this more stressful is this is a vacation trip and I'm flying LAX-LHR (BA F) simply because I wanted to try GA in F, starting in the west coast there are much more sensible routes to Asia than via LHR. Am I getting worried for nothing? Anyone have a thought as to why such an empty flight would show no availability other than because its going to cancel?
