I was looking to check J/D availability from JFK to LHR on BA for next week on Galileo and was surpised how few seats there seemed to be availabe in J (or F) on the flights leaving between 1830 -2100. Being of an inquisitive disposition I picked some other random dates through October and found the same thing. Virtually no F seats available at all and not that many J (with almost no D).

Checking then on Fare Explorer it soon became apparent that had I wished I could have booked 6 seats in F or J on a range of flights shown on Galileo as 0 availability.

Does anyone know why this is ? Does BA reserve these seats for sale only through BA ??? Is Galileo not the fount of all knowledge that we had all thought ?
