The 4 last flights out are Y1, Y2, Y4, Y5 respectively. I know this changes from minute to minute and hour to hour, but with only 12 Y seats open all day, flights seem to be pretty full.

I plan to show up to the airport early and volunteer for VDB, out of curiosity, what could I expect if they can only get me out 6-7 hours later? or not even on a flight at all that day? Of course I know its a possibility that more seats can open up also.

I've also noticed that half the flights on this route on Sunday are sold out, as well as EVERY nonstop flight on Monday and Tuesday being completely sold out (in Y) as well as a couple flights on every other day next week. Is something big going in in YYC? Is this normal? I just thought it was pretty weird, never seen that on too many other routes before esp in winter...
