This isn't just revenue management - the seatmaps are all fully allocated, too.

Is this the effect of the sale fares? Is there some big American holiday that I don't know about?

What's going on [?]

It's Memorial Day weekend...but you might also find some tightwad parents taking kids off on holidays earlier than half term [V] ;)

But isn't it half term starting from NEXT weekend? This is the return from SFO - not the outbound [?]

The 19/20 is one of my favourite routes - Looks like a lot other other peoples favourite aswell!!!! :D

SFO must be second on the list after HKG for a double daily frequency or an A380 hopefully. [:?]

looks like some good upgrade opportunities unless I still misunderstand the fare classes so much!

Lots of universities have just let out as well, so that could be a contributing factor.

Often wondered the same. Great location, great clubhouse, ripe for exploitation and full flights. Go VS go!

Must say the VS019 PE is looking busy for our date in mid June! Not too sure about Econ and UC.

But as has already been said the flights in the top post are for SFO - LHR so perhaps not related to Memorial Day as that is not until May 29th [?]

Its half term and perhaps more importantly as VS-EWR says: American and British Unviersities are all finishing now. Imagine the number of people who are for summers backpacking on Great Escapade fares has shot through the roof also.

Yeah, my outbound on the 3rd June is still okay (and looking good for a W to J mileage upgrade next week), while the return on the 12th June looks almost totally full in W and Y, though still space in J.

Cheers,
