I guess I missed the altitude perk where SE status deceased agent bribes by 50%.

booked on air Canada bavation package tomorrow AC1788 to Samana.
12 seats in J this morning when I checked in but no option for last minute upgrade

anyone know why? Is it because it's a package?

Again, the seat map is not the best indicator - just because you see an empty seat map does not necessarily mean that it is not booked full/near capacity.

You need to see the sellable loads on EF or some other tool like KVS to get a better idea.

This is also now available in the app. It does show as only 4 booked, but when looking at the inventory in EF, the flight is zeroed out.

So the AC app shows 4 booked J and full Y. As you stated everything is zeroed. AC doesn’t show any flights with space to sell tickets tomorrow.

So we’re saying this flight is at least 8 people oversold?

Sorry, what do you mean by "it does show as only 4 booked"?

My guess is that it's oversold. You would think AC would try to sell LMUs, to at least make a bit of money rather that just op upping people.

Yeah, that's confusing. There's no one on the upgrade list (who's checked in), and they're going to have to bump people up, so why not even attempt to make some money?

Maybe AC realizes that the net effect costs more dealing with the IDBs? (not rhetorical, just an honest thought)

The real question is, what is the internal load factor... Y-50? or Y-20?

Maybe a check of the remarks on EF for tomorrow's 1788 may reveal something?
Apparently, something is going on with that flight.

Apparently at this point in time the internal load is Y-10, which means it's still +6 for the entire flight.
