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 for that. 0 in U on both. Does that mean that point upgrade request will not be fulfilled or will they be fulfilled through the D & J availability?

A general rule of thumb is that D/I availability bodes well, then it is up to status.
 
To be honest I do get into that level of detail, others could confirm. I would suspect the answer is yes. I got upgraded from J to first (P). There was no P availability last week, just F and A. I would assume upgrades to business works the same.
 
Domestic upgrades are confirmed immediately if there is availability in the U fare bucket.
International upgrades are never confirmed immediately. They are always left up to the lottery.
So I don't think availability in U or P makes much difference on international sectors.

Can someone please check QF2 on the 9th April?
Please specify the origin and destination. It saves us going and having to look it up as ExpertFlyer needs this info.

I have taken a guess that you meant LHR-SYD, but of course you could have meant LHR-DXB or DXB-SYD?

Please let us know origin and destination so we can help you.
In this case I have had to assume you mean the whole flight LHR-DXB-SYD.
The figures for single sectors may differ.

Can someone please check the J loadings for SYD -> SFO QF73 on April 17 and SFO -> SYD QF74 on April 21?
I have requested a points upgrade from Y to J, hoping that comes through.
 
Could someone help me with the loading of QF82 from Singapore to Sydney on 20 May please. I am hoping to move from Y to J as an SG. Thanks in advance.
