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.

Look like you are in 1D?
Only 3 in J instead of the 2 earlier.
Perhaps no other WP on flight or no WP asking for U/G?

Stalker Correct. Although I now notice someone is in 1C as well. Be very nice if the J cabin remains that empty or at least my shadow sticks.

I am on QF9 MEL-PER this Friday. It is currently showing J9 C0 D0 I0 W9 R9 T0 Y9 B8 H9 K9 M9 L9 V9 G0.

I have an upgrade request in for Y-W-J. What are the chances of QF moving some of the J fare bucket to the upgrade fare bucket (I?)

Irrespective of fare class. At lease 21% of J and 32% of W still vacant if the loading s are correct.
Would the airline price such percentages into their highest fare buckets?
I’d say your chances are pretty good depending on Status and original fare bucket.

thanks @Steady Fingers crossed then

Now down to

J1 C0 D0 I0 Y9 B9 H9 K0 M0 L0

Only 1 J seat (3D) is not allocated. Either you are the difference from J2 to J1, or not looking that great.

 

[VPS]

I am indeed the difference. Never got notified but got an email from Qantas this morning asking me to do a survey and I saw that my points balance was down and checked and there I was in 3C

They were pleasant and efficient but no more - not a lot of personality but really couldn't complain. Landed early as well

Can i get the loadings for the following flights
June 22 SYD to SFO QF73
June 29 SFO to SYD QF74

What are the chances of an OpUp for Y+ to J?

Im in the R fare bucket with WP status. From a seat selection point of view the QF73 flight only has 7 seat left so it looks like a busy flight. Would that increase my odds or is it still unlikely for Transpac?
