On an A319 Sunday ORD/DTW I was number 7 out of 48 for 2 seats eight hours before flight time as a diamond on a Q fare. I booked this trip a couple months out and first class was a lot more so not sure how they sold so many seats unless there were a lot of connections at DTW and/or they gave the flyers connecting in DTW a lot better FCM offer than direct flyers. I SDC'd onto a MDW/DTW flight and there was one seat up front available and I was number 1 and cleared at the gate.
I remember I used to get upgraded quite a bit on the ORD/DTW route as a gold on an RJ.

ATL-SRQ last night.
I was 14 of 71 on the list as a DM on an K fare. First time flying into this airport and had no clue it was that popular a route. No F seats were available when I checked in 24 hours prior (A321).

Do you have the AX Reserve? It would be interesting to see how much effect that would have on something like this — not that it would have made any practical difference on this flight, but just for academic interest.

How does that happen? Were there really 13 people on “Full Y” fares or RUCs applied?

I would guess 40 people boarded in the Premium group.
