I wasn’t traveling but as reported by my friend who was flying.
I wish they would use this common sense on all wide body flights. I flew on a 763 a back in June from ATL-MCO and the GA would only fill F to 50%. I asked the GA about the 75% rule on wide bodies and he told me that the flight must be marketed as D1 to fill up to 75% and this flight was only marketed as FC so it could only be filled to 50%.
