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

Hello Serfty - Are you able to check the loading as of today? Do you think i have a chance?
I have applied for J upgrade but untick PE option.. Should i cancel J upgrade and re-do it? My fear is if i do that i might go to the bottom of the queue for J upgrade?

PE is full and J is filling up and it is still a while off. I wouldn’t change the request

Thank you both - It seems i have very slim chance to get an upgrade :). I might ask for help again on 3rd July and hope my luck changes :)
 
Can someone check the following for me please
5/7 QF 172 WLG MEL
5/7 QF 164 WLG SYD

Trying to decide which might be best for an upgrade

TIA
 
Could I get an update please on QF 7 SYD - DFW for 6th July? Hoping for a Y to J upgrade :)
 
Not without hope but filling up

QF 7 SYD 12:35p → DFW 1:00p

Hopefully with that light F loading, plenty of the J to F upgrades will come through for people, freeing up some J seats for me :)
