That's potentially a lot of lost sales.
"Finalise" might be the precise description!
I wonder if this might be a technical glitch.
FR changed many of their PIK flight numbers at the start of the current winter schedule. For example, PIK-ACE was FR6153, but became FR7820 at the start of the current winter schedule. The FR app shows PIK-ACE this coming summer as FR6153 but sold out. However, you can book PIK-ACE for November 23 already and it shows the current flight number FR7820.
So I wonder if their timetable system thinks that FR6153 is the operating flight in the coming summer, but can't find it in thier sales system (since it should be FR7820) and so displays it as sold out. Similarly, you can book TFS for next winter with the current flight number (7816) but not for this coming summer, which shows the old flight number (653).
