How about no sides seats six MONTHS before departure which is what mine is for next year (did bag the last two ourselves on MMB - fingers crossed). Checked the dates in all calendars and there are no holidays either here or in USA at that point.
Back to original post is that not about the time for Thanksgiving in the US so could be why flight seems full??
