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

Appreciate it if someone could check EP for loadings.

What's the likelihood of myself receiving an upgrade on QF675 this Saturday? Thanks in advance
If you added the departure and arrival ports the chance of a quick reply is greater

Can someone please tell me the loading on QF24 BKK-SYD tonight?

The seat map is showing virtually full in Y.

Not able to upgrade due to cheap fare but was hoping for a vacant seat beside me.

Thanks
 
Advised at check in that the seat next to me was still vacant but that there are only two seats vacant on the plane. This will be interesting.
It departs in 25 minutes as I post. Borading would be underway. (6:10pm departure)

Could someone please post loadings for QF93 on Oct 21 and QF94 on Oct 25? Hoping for some J upgrades as a WP

QF93 F3 A2 J9 C9 D7 YBHKMLVSNXE9

QF94 F3 A3 J4 YBHKMLVSNX9 E8

I can't seem to see Y+, I think it's full on both flights.

Y+ buckets appear for me, in EF... are you using another tool?
Here's the detail, 12 hours on, from EF:

QF 93 MEL 21/10/18 10:00 AM
F3 A2 J5 C5 D3 I0 W5 R5 T4 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 V9 S9 N9 Q9 O9 G0 X9 E9

QF 94 LAX 25/10/18 10:40 PM
F3 A3 J5 C0 D0 I0 W0 R0 T0 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 V9 S9 N9 G0 X9 E9

Cheers,
Matt.

I think with WRT0 on QF94 it was showing me the same on QF93 due to the booking class conflict.

Thanks. Looks promising for the trip over, but less so for the return.

I guess that makes sense for the day time vs overnight flight. I particularly chose QF94 rather than QF96 to increase my chances.

Upgrade to W just came though on QF93 which is better than nothing I guess. Is there still hope for J?
 
Showing 2 J available but I don’t think they will usually revisit an upgrade to a higher class once given

QF 93 MEL 10:00a → LAX 6:25a
F2 A0 J2 C2 D0 I0 W1 R1 T0 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 V9 S9 N9 Q9 O9 G0 X9 E9

... and the J2 C2 may actually be a reflection of the F2 ... i.e. They'll sell two Business fares and put 2 PAX into F to accommodate.
 
Hi AFF’ers,

Could someone check the J and Y+ upgrade availability on QF16 LAX to BNE on 24th for me please?
