What specific city pairings? And how often have you seen that, given you said flights, plural, and state this as a trend? And where are you getting the +20/-20 figures? (I don't know all the flight tools but I know it's been said here some will show 9 but no higher on a seat availability count. If there's one that goes as high as 20 I'll check it out, thanks.)
