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!

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

Hi


wondering if someone could tell me what the loading is looking like for QF27 SYD- SCL this Friday 24th and returning on QF28 on 7 Aug. For Y - but also what is in Y+/J too (hopeful of an upgrade...).

Also operates at LA806 and LA807 on return.

Thanks!

QF27 24JUL15
J9 C8 D4 I0 W9 R9 T9 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 V9 S6 N9 Q9 G0 X9 E0

QF28 07AUG15

QF27 is currently wide open.
There's award space available on QF28 in Y+ at the moment, I'm not sure if this means a Y+ upgrade will be immediate or not though, I'm not all to familiar with intl upgrades. And like QF28 it's currently wide open but there's still 3 weeks to go.

Whats weird is that i just successfully booked a N ticket on VA1429 and a Q ticket on VA1426.

You have to remember that EF is US based, and they don't always see from their end what we might see at our end (eg seats available in their marketplace vs our marketplace). EF is only ever a guide. Glad you succeeded.
 
hi

I'm flying on Sept 18 2015 on QF 42 from CGK - SYD Class O

I'm planning to change the flight date to 27 July, is there any seat available on the same class?

Thank you

got it

how do you which class it belong to?

Here's a snip of a Flight Availability search for your route, date and airline:

I don't know why it shows some classes with zero availability and others not at all (meaning zero). Usually 9 is the maximum number shown, even though there may be more.
