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!

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.

Thanks defurax . J3 = at least there is a bit of hope. I have important thing on 24. Hoping for a good sleep in J. I'm WP.
This flight qf24 BKK to SYD 23/8 has been changed to an old version 330-200 aircraft. Could someone kindly help with an updated loading in J cabin pls. Tia
 
Upgrade confirmed at T65. Thanks.
Congratulations. Can you let us know your thoughts on the flight? Everyone says the SkyBed Mk1 seats are woeful now, would be good to know how you find them for sleeping on this flight (I am on QF24 on 30 September also on the old fit-out and have also requested upgrade).

I have been on Skybed Mk1 a few times before. It is ok to sleep, clearly sub-standard compared to The 330 refurbished version. I'm happy to get upgraded but would be crossed if I was on a revenue seat.
 
Hi All

Can someone please help me look up QF11 on Weds 12th Sept from Syd to JFK (via LAX) business availability for upgrades from PE?

Thanks
 
Thanks mate!!! What does U 2 stand for ?
It's an awful Irish music band:p

U2 at 3 weeks before the flight indicates very low loading (I.e. Qantas really don't think they will fill the cabin with paying customers). See post #1 for explanations.

Luckily i did not have to endure SkyBed Mk1 this time. It was changed back to a refurbished a332. Seems to be the domestic version that since a few fellow pax (including me) got confused about seat number until we looked up. Departure was 1 h late, possibly tech problem. good sleep back to work straight away this morning.
 
Can someone give me the loading for the following please?

I guess in with a slim hope with flexi Y and being a WP.

Missed out on the upgrade, but glad I did. Y was at most 40% full. Had a row of four seats to myself. Didn't care about food and ate up in the F lounge and went straight to sleep.
