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.

Thanks for that, currently booked in PE as a WP wondering if I should cancel my waitlist and just hope for a free upgrade.

 

[theweaselsteve]

Thanks for that. Doesn't J9 mean there are 9 available. Doesn't sound too bad?

Hi,
Could someone please give me loads for QF 9 Melb to London on May 11th,
and return QF 10 London to Melb on June 11th

we are booked in J, but thinking of putting in an upgrade as cannot get seats where we would like them.

thanks in advance

TQ

 

[serfty]

Thanks for that. Doesn't J9 mean there are 9 available. Doesn't sound too bad?

J9 means they are willing to sell at least 9 seats in Business class at the full rate. .. no more ... no less ...

With F8 they may be planning to sell some First seats at J (or C) "prices".

Assuming no oversells, there may be as few as just the one Business seat "unsold".

AA Bus. redemption AKL-LAX (and return): Rang QF last night and "nothing" seems to be released. Does anybody have any knowledge of what AA may do with releases for this new sector?

There was a big release of award space on this route a few months ago - wouldn't be surprised if it's all gone by now. AA are notorious for not releasing much award space on key routes and also releasing seats in a sporadic manner. Your best bet is to check regularly or, if you have specific dates in mind, set up an alert on Expert Flyer.
