Which country do you live in? I didn't know there were countries that forbid the airlines from overselling seats and forced them to fly airplanes with empty seats when there are no shows.

Pre 2001 (late 90s, early 2000s), I'd on more than one occasion take a United flight from LAX to Melbourne via Sydney (same flight, deplaning people in Sydney) that would regularly fly the Sydney Melbourne leg with fewer than 50 passengers on a 747-400.
