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.

Original thread title: update on QF93 on 12 sept

Appreciate it if someone could check EP for loadings.

Depending on your status, with Y+ full there will be competition for J upgrades on QF73. The flight home with D9/I9 means it is wide open for upgrades at this early stage. But the outward leg is D1/I0 and that makes it much tighter. So Y+ may be worth a look outbound.
It wasn't looking good. No SMS or email.
At the gate it came through.
 
Would someone be able to kindly post the latest loadings on QF1 from SYD - LHR on 24 April please? I'm hoping for an upgrade from Y+ to J. Thankyou in advance.

Hello Again All,

Can I get a check for QF24 BKK to Syd 24/4/17 please? Have a sneaky upgrade request in with a wing and a prayer.

Cheers
 
I know we're still five and a bit weeks out but could someone please let me know what J load is looking like on QF27 on June 2? We're in PE, in our preferred right bulkhead seats, but the upgrade would be nice (very). We've got the same requested coming back on QF28 on June 16.

cheers
pete

we'll just keep those fingers crossed Matt and hope we're laughing in five weeks time!
 
I'm currently looking at a short trip to LA for an event during the July 4 long weekend. The prices coming up are a bit on the high side given travel plans for later in the year (a short HND trip in Sep and a RTW in Oct/Nov).
For this trip last year, I got R tickets, used points to reduce the price a bit and the J points upgrades clear in both directions. But now the points needed for upgrades have increased...

Can't work out if I should do the same as last year (though using less points, thus higher $), or book a Y seat and hope for any sort of points upgrade/opup...

Current availability for the dates in question are:
QF93 F8 A7 J9 C9 D9 I0 W9 R0 T0 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 V0 S0 N0 Q0 O0 X0 E0
QF15 J9 C9 D9 I9 W9 R9 T9 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L2 V0 S0 N0 Q0 O0 X0 E0
QF11 F9 A8 J9 C9 D9 I6 W9 R9 T0 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L5 V0 S0 N0 Q0 O0 X0 E0

QF94 F9 A9 J9 C9 D9 I9 W9 R9 T9 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 V9 S9 N9 Q9 O9 X9 E9
QF12 J4 C4 D4 I4 W9 R9 T9 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 V9 S9 N8 Q0 O0 X0 E0
QF16 J9 C9 D9 I9 U0 W9 R9 T0 Z0 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 V9 S9 N9 Q0 O0 G0 X0 E0

Any suggestions?
 
Hi all, hoping someone could check availability for an upgrade from economy to business on BR315 TPE-BNE 5/5/17. I am yet to request a points upgrade but wanted to see what the chances were. I am short some mileage so would need to purchase before requesting. Our tickets are Y class. I might also consider asking for a paid upgrade at the desk but it would be preferable to do points.
