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.

Trying to see the seat loading leaving 0.05 on 9/11/18 (tomorrow morning) Thai TG473 but can’t see on expert flyer.
Hoping the flight is not full so I can stretch out across the middle rows if empty. Has anyone visibility of loading on this flight?

Thanks in advance

(I had a vague recollection that there was a whole forum somewhere here on upgrade seat availability but I can't locate it)

I've applied for points upgrades to both business and premium economy for QF11 on Saturday 8th December and QF94 on Friday 14th December - if someone who has the knowledge on how could please check how availability is looking for those two flights I would be grateful!
 
QF11/08DEC is tight as SYD-LAX is always volatile in the premium cabins, upgrades possible though if stars align. QF94/14DEC is worse: only selling 1 full fare Business and 3 full fare Prem Econ.
 
Loadings for QF 11 - F9 A9 J9 C9 D8 I0 W6 R5 T3 Y9 B9 H9K9 M9 L9 V9 S9 N2 G0

And for QF94 on the 14th:
F8 A4 J1 C0 D0 I0 W3 R2 T0 Y9 B9 H9K9 M9 L9 V9 S9 N9 Q9 O9 G0 X9 E9
 
Loadings for QF 11 - F9 A9 J9 C9 D8 I0 W6 R5 T3 Y9 B9 H9K9 M9 L9 V9 S9 N2 G0

And for QF94 on the 14th:
F8 A4 J1 C0 D0 I0 W3 R2 T0 Y9 B9 H9K9 M9 L9 V9 S9 N9 Q9 O9 G0 X9 E9
Many thanks Kermatu, going over looks like a possibility, coming back pretty unlikely.

Cheers GC - not looking great is it!

A positive sign for both flights is there are a few F seats still available. I would assume a few pax in J have upgrade requests in, which could have a good flow-on effect.

Do you have status with Qantas?

Only Silver at the moment, a big fall from grace when I was a WP for several years

Can someone please give the loading for J on QF 19 Syd > Mnl on Dec1? BCD say only 1 is available.

Many thanks.
