Huh? Where did business class come into it?

You mentioned business passengers.

Travelling at times other than the first weekend after the new year!

With the implication that they'd been substituted by luggage
encumbered tourists- but then you said the seats were empty.

There were few Business Class seats and they were not very full. The economy
seats were full.

Certainly on my flight there was almost no-one in business class

So maybe the airport was quieter than usual.

No, it was full of people in Economy with lots of luggage! Do keep up,
Roland!

Economy is always full of people with lots of luggage. The empty
seats in Business Class is where the quietness arises.

Luggage amounts do vary by season I think you'll find.

but there were a lot of people in Economy with a lot of luggage.

There always are.

Not so much luggage in the summer.

with the current allowances I think people have the same amount of
luggage all year round.

Evidence?

Heathrow Y class pax are allowed one free suitcase plus a larger and a
smaller carry-on bag. Do winter Y class pax exceed this, or summer Y class
not fully use it?
