    Hi,I am traveling with my school (about 60 of us) to milan linate on the15th of April with Aer Lingus,I'm an Avgeeks so I went about booking the flight just to see what seats the travel company had booked for the school,but when I looked at the seat map and it only shows about 50 unavailable seats scattered around the Aircraft,Why would the travel company not have booked it yet ? I think other schools are going out to do the same trip,would Aer Lingus have chartered in an Aircraft for this flight ?

    They almost certainly won't have paid for assigned seating from experience of school/college trips - you'll get what's available on checkin.

    It is unlikely but not impossible that there's an extra flight - were you not given a flight number?

    Which shows up on their website as the normal flight:

    How do you know the flights aren't booked yet? Because there are only 50 seats pre-booked? Not everyone pre-books seats.

    Yep, it's unlikely they paid for early assigned seats so they'll just do their best to sit ye in blocks on the day.
