Business class fully booked!

I am planning to fly our from YYZ to DEL (Depart 15th December, Return- 15th Janaury) on a round trip ticket with Etihad on business class. However, the problem is that the business class section is completely booked. How likely is the case that the business class section is going to have free seats as the departing date approaches. Has anyone experienced such an issue? Help is much appreciated. Thanks,

Sold out usually means sold out.

Airlines do not hold back seats during the sales process. Your best hope is that there are some seats in a code share block held by another airline. You should check with the other airlines that sell the flight(s) as a code share to see if they can sell you a business class ticket on that routing.

Otherwise your only hope is that someone cancels their current booking.

Some airlines, like Delta and Alaska, have promised customers they will continue to block middle seats and limit passenger capacities until January 6, 2021. For most other airlines, however, all bets are off, and planes are being fully booked when possible.

Can you get bumped from business class?

One rule you can expect with just about every airline is that if they need to choose passengers to bump, they'll start with those in the lowest fare class. Those in business class, first class, and even premium economy are usually safe (although they can be bumped down to a lower fare class if necessary).
