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.

How far out is the flight?

 

[exceladdict]

How far out is the flight?

Two Weeks or so. Booked in O

 

[kermatu]

I'd be reasonably optimistic.

If you gave me the date, port of departure and destination then I could tell you.

HI There
Just wondering the odds of a points upgrade for this Friday's 16th June QF7 SYD - DFW?
I am WP status.

Or for the return QF8 DFW - SYD on 23rd June?

I assume this would be a premium heavy route so availability might be slim?

Both quite reasonable odds, and in particular pretty good for a solo WP traveler, if that is the case?

Here you go:





Cheers,
Matt.

 

[Sdtravel]

Awesome, thanks

Yep, solo WP.

 

[esseeeayeenn]

Outbound: to PE nil, to J nil, to F good chance.
Returning: to PE possible, to J unlikely, to F possible.

Was hoping the FLounge would be quiet but with those loads I expect the F cabin will leave MEL full.

Hi guys! I'm flying with my partner on QF25 (SYD to HND) on Friday 23 June 2017. We're booked into economy, what are our chances of upgrading to Premium or Business?

Thanks!

 

[pjm99au]

I'd call it marginal with 9 days to go but Y is completely sold out so some will be moving

johnbli what status do you and your partner have with QF? NB? PS? SG? WP?

Welcome to AFF.

 

[greyyy]

I know, I'm quite early, but keen to understand *generally* what my chances are as SG for an upgrade to First on QF1 on 8th Aug?

Hi greyyy - it is indeed a bit early to say, but presuming you are going through all the way to LHR from SYD (remember to include your O&D in future requests!), then the loads look pretty light right now (F is highlighted): F9 A9 J9 C9 D9 I9 W9 R9 T9 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 V9 S9 N9 Q9 O9 G0 X9

There's a lot of dependencies to consider (revenue tickets sold between now and then, who else has requested upgrades and their status, etc.), but what you see for the moment is about as good as it gets.

Cheers,
Matt.
