Scheduled domestic capacity within the US during Thanksgiving week is down by just 2% on pre-pandemic levels, despite the number of flights being more than 11% lower.
Analysis of data provided by OAG Schedules Analyser shows that the overall number of domestic seats will be about 17.9 million during the week commencing Nov. 21 across 138,221 flights. This compares with 18.3 million seats and 156,512 flights during Thanksgiving week three years ago.
Although overall capacity is marginally down on 2019, airlines in the US intend to operate 1% more seats on Thursday and 13.4% more on Friday. The 17.9 million figure also represents a 4.2% increase on last year.

One time I regretted waiting at the gate to see a plane pushback was for a wide open flight with even seats in business to Eze. I was certain that I would be enjoying churrasco, Malbec and dulce de leche in a few hours. The problem? The flight was weight restricted. ☹️

Yes always wait until the end specially if you are by yourself. EZE? Is it new? I never had this problem however it happened to me once in CDG some summers ago.

LAX/EZE service started around Christmas 2018, I remember because of all the fanfare over the three times a week service and then there were those tango shoes:cool:

The only time it happened to me on international flights was on a 767. However I remember HKG being notorious for for weight restriction even if it was a 777.
