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.

Can someone tell if there are 2x vacant J seats on TG481 on Tuesday 12th Dec?

Mr Glider and I are about to miss our connection for the preceding TG483 and I'm hoping there's space for them to rebook us on the morning flight.

Thanks!

EF shows C1,D1, so it doesn't look too promising I'm afraid.

Oh noes
What about Wednesday mornings tg483?

That's looking better with C4 D4 J0 Z2.

 

[Glider_]

Checkin at KIX knew we were going to misconnect, so I wonder if they've proactively already booked us on the morning flight? Hopes and dreams, eh.

 

[Glider_]

Also, thanks very much Happy Trails for taking a look for me so promptly!

Have a friend with PS status looking for an upgrade which I guess is probably very unlikely at this time of year on QF10 LHR-MEL on 21 Dec.

What do the loads look like for this flight, please?

Thanks so much for this. Very bad news for both - got to love a full flight in Y!

Thanks. So potentially the J seats they're willing to sell could all require upgrades of passengers from J to F.

So an upgrade from Y to J does look unlikely.

 

[mviy]

Any update on the loadings for QF10 LHR-MEL on 21 Dec, please?

F2 A2 J4 C0 D0 I0 W6 R4 T0 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M3 L0

Thanks. So upgrade chances to J for my PS friend aren’t looking very good.

What about QF10 on the 22nd from DXB-MEL?

[mviy]

Thanks. So would all WP upgrades have been processed or would they be holding back seats in case there are last minute purchases?

Higher tier offers should be well under way, but with aircraft swaps in DXB and any other uncertainties that might arise they may well hold back some seats until very close to departure.
