PLEASE INCLUDE DATE, FLIGHT NUMBER, ORIGIN & DESTINATION IN ALL REQUESTS
>>>> ADDED BY ADMIN (6 Sept 2010) <<<<



Background to this thread
We have noticed an increase in the posting of questions about seat availability on specific flights. These are all valid questions and we all appreciate the efforts our members go to to provide answers.

The only drawback is that our forums can become "cluttered" with specific questions about availability on specific flights. This tends to reduce the overall usability of our site.
We have therefore created this new consolidated thread where you can ask questions about seat availability on specific flights. Hopefully, this will reduce clutter and improve useability.

Guidelines for posting in this thread
Please post questions about availability of specific flights or upgrade probability in this new consolidated thread. Be sure to include the airline, flight number, date, origin and destination and any other relevant detail.

When answering questions, please include the original question. This will assist in readability and management of the thread.

Thanks!



For Questions about Aircraft Configuration and Seat Availability, please use this thread:​



See this thread for hints on how to read loadings:


If looking for, say Qantas points upgrades, look for A class for First, mid to high D or any I class for Business and any R for Premium Economy.

Look for the most expensive category of the cabin YOU are currently booked in as being sold out e.g. J0 to first, W0 to Business & Y0 to PE for increased op-up chances. Also, look for availability on the discount premium buckets (A, P, I, D, U, T & Z inventories).

Conversely, look for high numbers in the discount economy buckets (N, O, Q, E & X inventories) for reduced op-up chances.

Seat maps can be a VERY rough guide but note that just because a seat is not showing as allocated does not mean that seat hasn't been sold. Not everyone pre-selects seats.

Original thread title: update on QF93 on 12 sept

Appreciate it if someone could check EP for loadings.

Hi everyone

My son is flying home LHR - SYD QF2 on Thursday 30/4/15
He has a points upgrade request in from Y to J
Is there any probability?
It would be his first trip in J.

Thank you

Here you go. Looks fairly promising at this stage:

Don't forget: he'll never go back ;).
 
Looking to upgrade:

6th May (HKG-SYD) QF128
Booked in PE (T Class) want to upgrade to J
Status: SG

Appreciate any info on upgrade probability, thanks.
 
Don't need loadings help but it's been a long time since I've requested a qf international points upgrade.
Do platinums points upgrades process exactly at T-48 hours or is it within 48 hours?
I'm in flexible Y with points upgrade to J

My last 3 or 4 have come in at about T-36 hours... good luck!

Cheers,
Matt.

When J is very empty (e.g I9), I've had upgrades come through at T-60 (twice last year on the SYD-HNL).
 
T-30 now still same J availability as earlier but still no upgrade , is this a bad sign?

I typically get my upgrades in the T-24 to T-20 window. Sometimes as late as T-12. I am yet to get an upgrade at the gate though.
 
Came through at T-27 and funnily enough my relative on the same flight separate booking but using my points came through exactly same time they are bronze but on flex fare class. I chose 1a and 1e on the new A330 config thoughts?

From my understanding they get the same upgrade priority as you since you used your points? Someone confirm or correct me?

Apparently only if you are WP1, but maybe this is good anecdotal evidence that it happens for WPs too
