Reads as if you want to be off loaded.
This time of year fewer people are travelling for work (business class paid by employer). But many for personnel travel:---> very high loads.
Some class's may be over booked, but the flight may not be. Seats booked <= seats on aircraft. (upgrades~downgrades)
There are other flights SYD SIN/SYD LHR if an oversell happens, but they may be full
After immigration offloading would be difficult :- bureaucracy. If have checked bags even less so.
