A few observations...
1) Are you looking at each sector individually or both sectors as a trip? Emirates relies quite heavily on married segments so the availability can differ if searching segment by segment might show different availability. 2) I've noticed that Emirates will often still sell F seats even when J is overbooked to the point that the F cabin will already be full. They clearly take the view that the additional revenue from selling an F seat is greater than downgrading/offloadinga a J passenger. This is similar in J when Y is heavily overbooked Sc0tty - if you share the exact date of your flights, I will see if I can get the exact load for you if it's T-48... |

I am looking at a 'married' segment - PVG to GLA on the 20th March. Depart PVG on EK303 on 20th March and then EK027 on 21st of March. Thank you. |

If they were only selling Flex Plus tickets I'd tend to agree. However, with Flex tickets (W, M and B) still for sale I think they expect there will be empty seats.

EK303 is overbooked by a decent amount. I'll pm you the exact load. Can't see the other flight yet. |
No upgrade, it wasn’t overbooked. The check in staff told me that the load is high but sests in economy are available (scattered around the cabin). |

Really?! On the PVG-DXB leg it was overbooked by a decent margin... On the DXB-GLA leg just now and this is wide open, everyone seems to have a spare seat next to them lol. |

Yeah, at check-in I asked straight up for chances of OP-UP and she said there is no chance as although business is full and economy has a few seats scattered around the cabins.

I suspect there was a combination of no shows/missed connections (not sure from PVG)/cancellations/people upgrading. Business still had a couple of seats free when I checked. |
