On other days the flight is operated by an A320 and it consistently seems that J class buckets are zeroed out . I have seen this phenomenon close in and far out in terms of booking window .

However , the seatmaps for all the A320 flights show an 8 seat J cabin . The seatmaps vary from completely full to no seats assigned but the J class is zeroed out . I know seatmaps are not , by themselves , necessarily indicative of load .

What I am trying to figure out is if there are certain days on A320 when J is NOT sold as a separate cabin . If that is the case , then is the J cabin seating given to CX Elite ? Any info appreciated!
