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!

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.

Thank you CaviAck.

I would be grateful if anyone could indicate the likelihood of an upgrade from W to J on Tuesday 15th September.

Flight number and or destinations would be a help

Whoops!
QF 127 to HKG.
Silly me.

Here is what EF is showing: J9 C8 D5 I0 W4 R1 T0 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 G0 E0

I'm not great at interpreting these, but the seat map shows PE pretty full, but several J seats unselected. Could be a good sign.

 

[scaredeycat]

Thanks for that. Fingers crossed.

Would anyone be so kind as to advise loadings for QF 42 (CGK > SYD) Departing 18/9/15? Many thanks.

Thanks! Looks like my chances of an upgrade aren't entirely squashed yet then!

Would someone be so kind to check on whatever the class is needed for me to do a points upgrade Y>J on QF81 on 12/Oct and QF6 on 21/Oct. (by the way, what is that class?)

Appreciate your help.

Appreciate your help.

To be able to put an upgrade request you need to have a Y ticket booked in any "fare class or bucket" with the exception of N,O, Q and X.

At the moment both flights have very slim chance of upgrade without some high status.
QF81: J0 C0 D0 I0 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 V9 S9 N6 Q3 G0 E0
QF6: J3 C0 D0 I0 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L0 G0 E0

 

[shorttd]

Understand defurax, I am booked into 'Saver' fare and have applied for upgrades, but if possible would like a clue as to whether either upgrade might happen. (BTW, am SG)

I've updated my post above with the loadings for both flights. It doesn't look good at all at the moment, but having said that sometimes J seats open a few days before departure on the SIN flight. I was upgraded on QF6 last week and the flight had been at J0 for months and then suddenly it became J8.

 

[shorttd]

Very kind, thanks. Since this is a lazy holiday rather than an 'important' business meeting I'm pretty relaxed anyway
