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

Nothing confirmed as yet, wondering how the odds are looking and when it would usually be confirmed?

Still looks excellent, almost a certainty.
I would expect an SMS at T-72 so sometime Thursday evening.
 
Only if P1 or CL - otherwise 48 hours, I think?

For my last two domestic flights I received an SMS confirming my upgrade approximately 72 hours before each flight.
Text received at 12:51 on Mon 22 May for QF 592 at 12:55 on Thu 25 May.
Text received at 18:09 on Thu 25 May for QF 599 at 20:25 on Sun 28 May.
I am only WP I have never ascended the lofty heights of P1 or CL.

Screenshot of the messages below - but the timestamps are in French because my iPhone is set up in French.

Here is the loading: J7 C7 D7 I7 Z7 Y6 B6 H6 K6 M6 L3 V0X0 S0 N0 Q0 O0 G0 E0
 
Out of interest - is there any benefit to the offer? Discounted rate/points?
 
Hi kermatu, it is cash offer. between $100 USD to $210 USD, similar to the bid now offer from QF. Condition: online checking at least 12 hr in advance and the upgrade outcome will be notified between 8 - 12 h.

Thanks. Reasonable value. J seat is very nice but service / food only ok in my opinion. Haven't experienced their Y product though so can't compare.
 
As a WP if an upgrade hasnt come through at around T48 is it likely to come through at all?
Im on Fridays (23/6) QF8 DFW to SYD. From Y+ to J requested. Checking my phone all day yesterday and overnight and nothing. We are at T29ish at the moment.

Do you think my chances are over or should i keep checking to see it comes through between now and departure.

Thanks again for your help. The upgrade did indeed come through but at approx T-30. I wonder if the 'bid now' upgrades have delayed the processing of classics in practice.
 
On behalf of #1 son - QF10 LHR-MEL Sat 8 July 2017 8.55pm - wondering what his chances are for Y->J upgrade success are?

Thanks in advance.
 
Hi everyone, wondering if anyone has loadings for QF94 on Friday 14th July.

My daughter is coming home from USA and I was wondering what the upgrade availability was like
Many thanks :)
