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.

So reasonable both ways, but you should have your request in asap as I undertsand they normally advise straight away for Dom if possible.
 
thanks OATEK. Silly question. I put in the requests yesterday evening. Should I be able to see in the booking or my profile whether there is a request pending?

Memory is a bit hazy but Manage my booking should show that a request has been made. Alternatively click 'Upgrade' again and the next screen should show there that a request has already been made.

Nothing wrong with your memory thanks kermatu. I was able to click on the upgrade and it showed that I had requested the upgrades. Many thanks.

What date?
 
Wide open in J and F: F9 A9 J9 C9 D9 I9 W9 R9 T6 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 V9 S9 N9 Q9 G0
Many thanks. PE looks fairly good as well. I'm hoping for a PE upgrade on the way over and J on the way back - will see how it pans out!
 
Got the J upgrade on the outbound leg on QF7 - as per usual though slept poorly on this flight due to the time of departure and me being a night owl that is rarely in bed before midnight.

Could someone please take a look at QF8 for this Friday (26th)?
