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.

As good as EF is, be mindful that it supports a much more limited number of airlines for award search. I had KVS, but I wasn't impressed with the requirement for a Windows machine. When my KVS subscription run out, I signed up for EF, but was shocked to learn how many airlines are missing from its award search.

Are you referring to EF's dedicated awards search function or EF's access to published seat availability for award buckets?
 
Re: update on QF93 on 12 sept

I'm all ears, as I am stuck with EF for the next 11 months or so... :-)

Figure out what bucket award seats book into and search the flight you want to see if that bucket is available? That's how I've been doing it for the last 2 years hahah.

Does the AFF discount apply to renewals, or only original subscriptions? My EF subscription just ran out and not sure it's worth $100 US anymore.

But that means each individual flight needs to be searched separately (versus KVS that can search various airlines and various days till it finds space).
 
Re: update on QF93 on 12 sept
