What class is QF Award Business

[albatross710]

When setting up a Flight Alert on ExpertFlyer what Award class would I use to be alerted when a Business Award becomes available on the particular flight I'm hoping for.

It is still two months out and currently showing J9 D9 I0 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 V9 S9 N9 Q9 O9 XC E0 .

I'm hoping at sometime in the next few weeks QF Yield Management will do a review and perhaps issue just the 1 flight I need to bring together the UWT - Ultimate Wife Treat.

My alternative is to move to the day earlier where there is availability...but I alreay have 1 on the awards in the original flight.

Is Award J come from X, U or Z availability?

Business comes out of U

Business comes out of U

... which has been missing from Expertflyer (and seatcounter I think) for quite a while.

OK, that explains why on qantas.com I could see availability of a J awards for the previous day but no corresponding class availability on expertflyer.com. It looks like I will check each morning just after 10am.

U class for award seats on most OneWorld carriers (QF,BA,CX, etc)
Although I've noticed a sector on Malev is in R class.

I thought D was a reasonable indicator of availability?

 

[serfty]

High D may indicate award availability but not definite.

 

[aus_flyer]

High D may indicate award availability but not definite.

Just expanding on serfty, I would say that...
Low D indicates it's unlikely there is award availability, but
High D does not actually indicate award availability is likely

There are many, many flights with D9 and no award availability.
