Seat occupancy lower

[Melburnian1]

AA72, the 1115 hours pleasantly scheduled SYD - LAX (B789) had just 51 passengers in a 198 seat economy class cabin for its Wednesday 9 February 2022 journey.

This equals 25.75 per cent of seats in the cabin occupied: very poor.

J however was far better with 29 of 30 taken, although how many were non-revenue or minimal contributors (such as staff travel)is unknown. Skyrocketing freight rates would also help, and maybe there were more whY passengers coming into Oz westbound.

Undertaking an ITA Matrix search for 16 May 2022 one way, the only AA options were via MEL or using QFi from SYD, so the answer may be 'yes'.
