(Caveat: I've ordered a SPML which I don't usually, curious if this affects it, see:

Update on my prediction: Y over by 11 as of yesterday and only 1 open seat in J (2-class 77W). I've had them put a note on my booking that I'll take the denied boarding comp as I'm flexible anyway and otherwise would be booking a flight this week on the same route for 700USD so holding thumbs that it works out! Will advise further on the outcome. Being India there could be 50 no-shows.
