Availability shows F3 but seatmap only shows 1 seat occupied
Just wondering on the 748 with 8 seats in F if this means only one seat has been sold (mine!) , or perhaps five were sold and four didn’t bother to assign seats ?
Would be interesting if I’m the only one in the cabin 😁

The chances of this happening again any time soon are similar to M&M or any other FF program improving its terms from a passenger’s point of view.

Same for me. Most flights. Completely full or 7/8. Seems they can sell a lot of full fare F. On some routes it is almost impossible to find space in A. And don't even dream about award tickets.

I guess it takes an unusual wallet to buy 10K usd tickets for private persons...

Actually, rather similar to recent C flights.
Might be distorted a bit by my recent destinations, JNB in particular being more leisure oriented, but still.

It is difficult to say, but my guess on my last few LAX flights this year: almost always somebody from the entertainment industry (which I never recognize but others do), many older people which could be retired or still working, sometimes with partner. Around half american and half central european. Very similar to what you would find in C. Occasionaly Heidi Klum (had her twice), Merkel's husband, Thomas Gottschalk (german entertainer), Melanie Griffith .....

In the last two years, I have seen a significant increase in personal/families traveling in F (often parents + 1/2/3 children) and, as I mentioned upthread, F is always full or almost full. It’s usually a 50/50 business/leisure mix. Also, fares have never been higher. This is from/to JFK.
