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.

Could someone help with the loading of QF24 BKK to SYD on 17 Sep please? I am hoping to move from Y to J as a QF SC. Many thanks in advance.

As an SG, you may be lucky but I wouldn't hold my breath...
 
What are the loadings for QF9 MEL-LHR 23rd September (tomorrow night)?
I take it you meant the 13th rather than the 23rd....

Wide open...
 
Thanks. Yes, that's what I meant. Hope my PS friend gets an upgrade. Sadly I'm not going as my status might have helped if we were on the one booking.

I am on same flight the day before. These flights are lightly loaded in economy but full in premium cabins.

Could I please have load factors for QF93 (MEL-LAX) departing Sunday 18 August? Hoping to upgrade from paid J to F with upgrade requested by a Chairman's Lounge and P1 member. There were 7 F seats available yesterday but now I only see 2 on the q.com search.

Here you go:

It does indeed look like there are only 2x F seats remaining. Good luck though!

As there seemed to be 7 seats available yesterday, do you believe that means QF cleared some upgrades (such as mine but without notification) or they sold 5 seats in 24 hours? Any way to know? Thank you.

No way to know.... people with F tickets quite often change their departure dates. Their could also be 5 CL ahead of your friend in the upgrade "queue", or they could have sold tickets....
 
Re: QF Upgrade Success Rate

Traveller requesting a first time QF upgrade. What's the chances of an upgrade on QF571 on Sunday? 2 pax flying on an 'O' fare, haven't pre-selected seats or requested meals, does this help? Only Bronze although the sticky point is that I need to order a Vegeterian meal 12 hours before. Any advice & feedback appreciated.

That is a very quiet flight

From expert flyer there are a lot of empty business seats.

I would think your chances are reasonable. Selecting a Veggie meal will not affect this.
