UA882 - 13.Feb.2016 - Empty C Class
UA has to be losing money on UA882 today (Feb 13th).
F had only 2 seats booked before filling-up with non-revs
C left with more than ½ the seats empty.
E+ had tons and tons of empty seats
Enjoying Upper Deck that is ½ full. Nice and quiet with window AND direct aisle access. ^

I guess I'm too lazy to look up UA 882's route. Still, it doesn't look good. Too bad there is no metric for "Why book UA in a premium class when there are better alternatives?"

On the 12th, the day before your flight, 835 ORD-PVG was packed. Business had no empty seats and I could no see an empty one in Y+ either. But Monday of this week TPE-SFO had empty seats in business and I was told only one GS. January and February are usually light for business travel and holidays also dramatically change the pattern.

China has been on a week long holiday which ends the 14th. Makes perfect sense that the ORD-PVG flight is packed. Monday would have been a holiday for lunar new year in Taiwan as well, not much business travel it's like flying on Christmas.
