I was booking the flight in the middle of september and I never seen any PZ space on any of the trans-atlantic flights.
Did you also clear? How many cleared in the end? The 45/60 count might have included blocked inventory if Economy was oversold.
Aside: 20th as 1K even on a cheap fare is kind of surprising.
