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.

Many thanks kermatu!! Yes, looks pretty full so not much room to spread out. Well, at least we got 31A/C. Thanks again!
 
As a WP yes, some hope especially as a solo traveller.

Follow up: Upgrade unsuccessful - apparently 32 upgrade requests for the 7 places, according to our TA, so WP not high enough or upgrades from PE took precedence. Family maintains unblemished record of zero upgrades on AU-LHR route :(.
 
We put our staff in PE so they have a better chance of getting a J points upgrade.

My son's company is flying him to their London office for 3 weeks IT support work - they refused to buy him anything above cheapest available Y ticket because he wanted to fly QF; forward journey was (upgradable) ticket but homeward-bound was cheapest Y fare (non upgradable) available.

Last year Mrs C and I flew MEL-LHR return in J but no upgrade was forthcoming!
 
Our last group went on Air New Zealand in PE and they all thought it was pretty good for MEL -LAX. I think the price was around $2,800 each for our group.
 
Son told me CSM took time to chat to him on arrival at DXB - when he reboarded, he found he'd acquired a shadow for DXB-LHR.
