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.

Thanks.

Better hope for some no shows!

Is there a reorganisation at Dubai when you reboard...I mean if x people get off, x people may be upgraded?
 
Looks kind of full...maybe upgrade at the gate

QF 2LHR 20:45 → SYD 6:30

F1 A0 J2 C0 D0 I0 W7 R7 T6 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 V9 S9 N9 Q9 G0

I flew QF1 SYD to LHR on 18 November. No text received but upgrade appeared online (MMB) about T-18. I was initially given the same seat all the way though but received a phone call at T-4 asking if I would be willing to move to another aisle seat to let a couple sit together (answer yes). A lot of people were in different seats on the second leg.

Good luck.
 
Thanks got upgrades on the way over, two separate flights as I stayed in DXB and they both came thru pretty much at 24 hours to go...will keep fingers crossed.
 
This must be the busiest Christmas/New Year period for domestic travel on record. Can someone please humour me with some loadings for 30 December?

Hi Could someone please help a beginner out. We are flying QF 7 28th Dec Syd to DFW using FF points. I put in a request as soon as i made the booking to upgrade to Business Class using points. Is there a way to check if we have any chance at all in getting the upgrade based on the current loadings?

A month out is not going to give a great indication. But many of the discount buckets are showing 0, which suggests they may not be as generous with upgrades. The current fare buckets are:

F3 A3 J9 C9 D9 I0 W9 R0 T0 Y9 B9 H0 K0 M0 L0 G0
 
thank you for that. I am 100% prepared for no upgrade but can keep having positive thoughts! I was lucky to score the award bookings so cant be too greedy. at least we have BC on the way home in Jan
 
Happy to report upgrade to business from y on QF28 today and even opup on feeder LATAM flight from Rio :) :) :) Thanks for the info

Beautiful view of the Antarctic ice too [video]http://vid1006.photobucket.com/albums/af188/jhumblej/ice_zpsklnroiga.mp4[/video]


Wow. Didn't realise QF28 went that far south
