    The 737-800 only seats 189 passengers. Your flight with 270 passengers must have been "cosy". Priority boarding is restricted to 90 passengers.

    It was a 738 according to flightstats.com.

    Seemed a lot of passengers! About half had priority through booking online with no hold luggage and a lot of the rest had bought priority boarding, leaving very few left for the remaining seats.

    Fine, after all the priority and online priority passengers had gone through there were only about 50 of us at the gate. The flight was full (or nearly) and there were still blocks of 3 seats available over the wings.
