    Hoping my flight to visit the US this fall has empty seats.

    (I’m a US citizen who has not been back to the states for over 5 years. Going to visit family and meet 2 of my sister’s children.)

    P.S. it feels like I need this disclaimer to explain why I would go there.

      You might be in luck, I just rode the AA56 Mia - Heathrow and there were more than a couple rows of seats with one lucky guy. Seats open here and there as well, not a packed flight to the point where overhead bins who are usually crammed were open and some still could fit stuff.

      First time in about 10 years traveling I’ve seen this.

        I’ve been lucky with this particular flight before having the entire row, but it’s been years and I’m doing a different airline this time, so hopefully it plays out the same way.

      Believe me, I understand. And I’m sure a lot of other people do, too.

      You did. I live here and my reaction to your post was l, “Why the fuck would you willingly come here?”
