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.

Can I have an update on the loads for 1 Nov QF9 MEL-LHR and 2 Nov QF9 DXB-LHR ?

I'm looking for a J to F upgrade to fly F for the first time.

Would the P1 upgrades have been processed by now meaning that what's left is likely to be available for upgrading WPs like myself?
 
1 Nov wide open

QF 9 MEL 11:25p → LHR 12:40p

F9 A9 J9 C9 D9 I9 W9 R8 T7 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 V9 S9 N9 Q9 O9 G0 X9

Maybe a couple more days of higher status upgrades but looks good at this time
 
Could some one pls check QF10 LHR-DXB 28/10/17 and then QF10 DXB-MEL on the 30/10/17

Many thanks in advance

How did you go Ansett? Looks like chances for upgrades to J or F were poor for LHR to DXB but possible for DXB to MEL for the dates you're flying.

Maybe a couple more days of higher status upgrades but looks good at this time
Thanks for checking! Got the upgrade about 5 minutes before T-60. First time in F!
 
Hi mviy no upgrade sadly for me but did see a CLP1 get upgraded form F to J at the gate in DXB which was complimentary.

Yes, it says that QANTAS is willing to sell 9 seats in each category and is even offering 9 seats for points redemptions (X9) in Economy. Of course in many of these categories QF may be aiming to sell many more than 9.

Ok great thank you!
 
Could I request someone post up the loadings on VA470 for 24DEC please :)

EDIT: Never mind, I didn't know there was a free tool available again!

Does anyone know how far our Qantas and Emirates release Seat awards? Looking to fly Business from Bangkok to Sydney for 2 adults and 2 children (Can fly separate Days eg 2 and 2). Looking for travel December or January. I have 375000 QFF points and potentially could fly from a neighbouring country. I also have 100,000+ flybuys and 331000 commbank awards.

i don't mind putting in the hard yard and checking frequently but don't know how soon i should start checking availability.
