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.

I bid 285AUD (which was the minimum) for the SYD-KUL and KUL-SYD flights at the end of September, but AMEX sent me out a new card, so I've had to cancel the bid and re-bid in order to change the card details. The new minimum had jumped to 295AUD, so I bid 300AUD. Fingers crossed. The I0 doesn't look promising on the trip home on MH123.

Let us know how you go. What fare bucket did you buy originally?. Should be one of the alphabets above.

Original fare was purchased as an N. Hopefully I'll see a pending charge on my card between 48 and 72 hours.

I got the transaction alert from AMEX at T-71. I expect I'll get a notification with a new e-ticket from MH today. I assume lounge access will be Qantas? Do I get lounge access on arrival at KUL while I wait for my domestic flight?

Thank you!

Thank you!

J4 C4 and nothing else for QF27. Y+ is possibly overbooked as well so upgrades will be hard to come by. QF28 is not even selling any J tickets on GDS now, but Y+ has W9 R7 T1 so that might slightly ease your pain of being stuck in the back.

 

[Bushflyer]

Hi All,
Can someone please provide me the loadings for QF71 on 4/11/16 from PER - SIN.
TIA!
