Anything more than 80% load factor and you are unlikely to be able to find anything other than middle seats.
Thank you for taking the time to respond. I am checking the number of available for seats to purchase before the flight and it looks like there’s 128open seats available to purchase from yyz to las and about 78 on the return leg. I know my flight is a little under 72hrs away. When you say the number of available seats will be less than the number of tickets sold. What does that mean for the numbers pertaining to my flight ?
