Not all routes have a full F cabin though. On a flight last week from BOM-LHR there was only 3 pax including me. Looking at my flight back on Monday there are only going to be 2 of us if no one else books from now or gets an upgrade.

I would like to see it reduced to just 8 seats on routes where they don't need all 14 seats, I think that would be an improvement.

Air France have recently gone down to 8 seat in their F class.
