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!

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.

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?

Outbound: to PE nil, to J nil, to F good chance.
Returning: to PE possible, to J unlikely, to F possible.
 
what are the loadings like for qf9 mel-lhr departing mel tuesday 20th june?


mel-lhr f4 a4 j9 c8 d0 i0 w3 r0 t0 y9 b9 h9 k9 m9 l9
mel-dxb f4 a4 j9 c9 d0 i0 w3 r0 t0 y9 b9 h9 k9 m9 l9
dxb-lhr f8 a8 j8 c0 d0 i0 w0 r0 t0 y9 b9 h9 k9 m9 l9
 
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! :)
 
I'd call it marginal with 9 days to go but Y is completely sold out so some will be moving


QF 25SYD 8:45p → HND 5:15a
J9 C0 D0 I0 W9 R0 T0 Y0 B0 H0 K0 M0 L0 G0
 
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.
