It says Holding Confirmed; I'm not familiar with the terminology, but is that the same as CONFIRMED/TICKETED. Tried reaching out to IB but long hold time and non-responsive Twitter has led me to turn to the collective knowledge here.

I ask because the flight inventory has been zeroed out, and we can't even get seat assignments for our party; there is only 1 remaining seat open.

I'm getting a bit nervous as they only fly 3 days a week, and I don't know what kind of accommodation IB will provide should we get bumped (as we aren't revenue pax).

Any thoughts/experience/insight appreciated.
