Interesting.

How is business class doing? I took two return flights recently one to JFK and back and one out to LAX and back from SFO. The outbound JFK was full but the return had six empty seats. Outbound to LAX (smaller cabin, 23 seats) also had six free seats. SFO was a real eyeopener. It had seven empty seats and that was after a family with two young children (four people) were upgraded. So about half the business class seats had not been sold. Looking at short term (in the next week) at fares it appears that there are a lot of spare seats on all T/A flights. As this is likely where they make their money is their a problem here? Even with connections from UK/Europe.
