Loads on QF21 14/6?

QF453 seems to be almost exactly half full, QF430 only has a dozen or so Y seats, no J

However, some time back I flew with QF carrying a very small load of pax through to Asia. The Captain explained to me that they were carrying a huge load of cargo on that flight, hence pax numbers had been resticted.

Do we have any Yield Management people on our message board? Perhaps you could explain "maximum weight loads" on trips such as this?

I'm not yield management BUT presuming a "very small load" means ~25%, that must have been some serious cargo weighing a lot. In fact I wonder what the maximum weight per square metre of an aircraft can handle.

What route was it, by the way?
